“BEST EXPERIENCE of our trip!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 January 2012

My husband & I joined the 1-day Sea Kayaking Experience in Milford Sound. We enjoyed every single part of it (except for the rainy morning, which wasn't really their fault).

We were picked up from our hotel in Te Anau at 6am and arrived at base camp at around 9am. They provided us with thermal top & leggings, wetsuit vest, fleece top, spray deck, life jacket, and everything else to keep us warm and safe.

Don't worry if you are not adventurous, or have not paddled before or prone to sea-sick. You will be "distracted" by the scenery and myriad of Fiordland wildlife (penguins, seals, dolphins) once you set off. The guides are very experienced, not just in terms of safety and kayaking, but also in providing comprehensive commentary about Milford Sound. We also got to enjoy lunch at a secluded spot in Milford Sound (where else can you get this?).

“Amazing trip, great guides, magical scenery, fun, safe, adventurous”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 December 2011

We went on a one day kayak trip on Milford Sound and had an amazing time. The guides were helpful and informative, and very funny. They gave us all the clothes and gear we needed and led us on a long (tough) paddle against the current. We passed waterfalls and great scenery, then sailed back catching the wind! Great lunch, fun to tool around a lagoon,...overall great time and highly recommended.

“Two day kayaking in Doubtful Sound”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 December 2011

We had to great days with Matt, our Guide, in the Doubtful Sound with kayaking. There is no better way to explore the Doubtful Sound than a Kayak. The silence, the steap mountains and the dark waters make this trip unique. Take a lot of insect repellent with you, there are some black flies out there and be prepared for real bad weather....
