Full description
The day starts with a safety briefing and getting kitted up before heading down to the beach. Listen to a quick paddling introduction and then head out onto the water for the rest of the tour. The route is always flexible so the tour goes where the weather is best. Depending on how the group decides, there may be a chance to stop and stretch your legs or take a swim before continuing on to a pretty beach for a delicious picnic lunch. Upon landing at the beach, your guide will serve up some hot drinks. After lunch, work your way back towards the starting beach, all going well with a sea breeze at your back. Once back at the beach, you will de-kit and then head off on the rest of your adventure in New Zealand. Showers are available if needed (water dependent during the drier months).

My husband and I had a great day kayaking. Our guide had lots of local knowledge and was very friendly. We saw seals, dolphins and a penguin. I would highly recommend this activity.

It was a great experience and super guided. I would not recommend a whole day in a kayak as a beginner (for the second time). Start with half a day.
