Relaxed informative tour. Saw a variety of bird and sea life. As an older couple we didn't feel out of place with a couple of young men.

The experience of kayaking around Queen Charlotte Sound was truly incredible. The half day tour is the perfect length for anyone who may not regularly go kayaking and gives you quite the workout with the added benefit of incredible views and wild life (Jellyfish, Eagle rays, and various sea birds). Our guide was highly knowledgeable on all aspects and made me and my brother (a first time kayaker) more than comfortable in our adventure.

Well-paced and peaceful trip out to Marlborough Sounds from Picton. It was the perfect length. We've taken a couple of other kayak tours, and this was the first one that included guards to keep us dry. We appreciated that. The instruction from our guides was great to get us comfortable with our kayaks. On the tour, Jenna provided us with a tremendous amount of history about the landscape and how it has changed over the years. We got to see jellyfish and even some rays near the end of the trip. My one point of advice would be to make sure you have sunscreen! A hat would also be a good idea. It's a long time to be on the water.
