Serene Kayak and Nature

Published on Mar, 2025

We did a morning tour with fog lifting over a glass-smooth lake. There were views of the snow-capped mountains. Once crossing the lake (2.5 km), there was a short hike through the rain forest. Our cheerful and pleasant guide (Sydney?) did a nice job explaining what we were seeing. The kayaks were in good shape and other equipment provided kept us warm and dry. For those who enjoy a pristine, quiet and still lake, and immersion in nature, and willing to put forth a bit of effort, this is a great tour. The hike was steep and slippery in places, and may be challenging for some seniors.

Wonderful kayak and hike experience

This tour company provides excellent service. Sydney and Oli made everyone feel safe and comfortable. Very knowledgeable about the eco system. A beautiful cup of tea mid morning. Thank you for a great adventure.

Beautiful scenery

We had a wonderful experience with Sydney! She was very knowledgeable and fun. The scenery is spectacular and the walk into the woods and seeing a kiwi home was very interesting. We would highly recommend this wilderness outfit !!

Fantastic afternoon out on the lake and on the island.The provision of tea or coffee was a surprising addition.
