Perfect day!
We had an amazing time with Libby from the Wilderness Guides. The weather was just perfect, the water clear and calm, the equipment professional and the small group was fun. We had a lot of time to just look around and discover the wildlife (and even try to do the kayak roll with two people in one boat, which is kind of hard to do). We saw lots of stingrays, shags and a seal. We really enjoyed the day, thanks!

Super Day
We arrived and everything was ready to go, got on the water within 15 minutes. Our guide, Sean, was amazing and really tailored the day to our abilities. He was very knowledgeable and fun, and we had a blast. I highly recommend it!

Penguins in picton
This was one of the highlights of our holiday in New Zealand. Our guide was great company and knew exactly where to look for wildlife. He even recognised a pair of little blue penguins by their quacking and we were lucky enough to see them. We loved our lunchtime picnic on a tiny sandy beach, and generally felt this was a great way to see the world. Would highly recommend!
