“Three day independent kayaking ”

Reviewed 10 February 2017 via mobile

Aaron and his partner were super helpful and cautious. We rented a double for three days. Aaron spent a lot of time with us helping us understand the route options and the weather and wind patterns. We chose to wait two days to start until a system passed though. Aaron would not even have let us go out, I believe, because of predicted winds. It was still windy when we did start, but because wind was from the south, we were protected by the south shore and then pushed north across the sound and into a northern arm to a camping area. Day 2 was still windy from the south. We didn't want to fight it, so we spent the day walking on the Queen Charlotte track and side trails then went out in the evening. Day 3 was perfect!

“Annual sea kayak adventure”

Reviewed 8 February 2017

Just completed a three day / 2 night sea kayak trip with Sea Kayak Adventure and TOTALLY recommend. (6th Feb 2017)

Two dads and two children under 12 on our annual trip and once again Sea Kayak Adventures, Nat and Aaron made the trip awesome, easy to arrange and fantastic customer experience.
This year we left Anakiwa and paddled Queen Charlotte sound with our guide Daryl had learnt so much about the local area and history, his cooking was great and at all times safety was taken care off. Thanks Daryl.
Nat's Muffins..... Yummy, after a good morning kayaking. I recommend you request some on your own trip.
Thanks Nat and Aaron, will see you next year.

“Half day tour in Marlborough Sound”

Reviewed 6 February 2017 via mobile

We had a terrific half day paddling with Sea Kayak Adventures. The setting is stunning and SKA were well organised and equipped. Good to have an initial safety briefing where you book in and then on the water very efficiently. We had a guide with us for our tour with two kids (8&9) and this made the day. Great banter, interesting facts and a beautiful day. Can't ask for better than that!

“GREAT AFTERNOON”

Reviewed 1 February 2017

Fantastic afternoon trip in double kayaks in some beautiful surroundings. Jeremy explained the instructions / health & safety with ease and we all felt informed for a great paddle on the water. Thanks Jeremy for the on-going commentary throughout the trip about what we were paddling through and what was around us; very knowledgeable likeable guy. Thanks again for an awesome time. Cheers Kieran.

“Such a great experience! Wonderful views ”

Reviewed 25 January 2017 via mobile

The service was great right from booking the afternoon trip, checking if it was going to go ahead since weather was iffy and then getting us on the water. Lance was a great guide with a good sense of humour. Was great chatting to him as he showed us round the coast. Water got a bit choppy on the way back and he really made sure we were fine paddling back. Would thoroughly recommend this company.....the first thing I said as soon as we got back to shore was 'I want to do that again please!' Many thanks guys
