Great morning out
Very nice trip, especially if you're lucky with the weather (I hear morning has calmer water than the afternoon). Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. They try to start outside of Picton if possible so that you avoid the boat traffic and get to visit the quieter and nicer bays.

Great Tour in small group!
I did the half day guided kayak tour yesterday with Libby and it was great! I recommend to do it! We were four people plus Libby. Libby was competent and very nice. First we went by car about 20 Min and in a lovely bay we started the tour. We kayaked across to the other coastline and along it.

Lovely kayak!
I really enjoyed the kayak tour in the Sound. The guide was very knowledgeable about the land and sea environment that we were touring. We saw about 8 sting rays, what a treat!
