Beautiful views, great journey, very convenient pick and drop… and the best part was the pilot cum guide ‘Robben’ with excellent knowledge of the area. Lunch and tea/ coffee arrangement on ferry was great.

Weather was good on the Doubtful Sound side which made the day that much more enjoyable. From Manapouri start to finish everything was well organized and everyone very helpful.

The leaders, the scenery, the cannoeing. Everything. Over a year later the whole family still say it was the best day of the holiday and the competition was stiff!
