  Number one thing to do in the sounds and Picton

  Kayaking was incredibly enjoyable, despite the windy conditions. We primarily stayed in the bays, which offered protection. Our guide Rachel was both kind and knowledgeable, leading us to see stingrays, eagle rays, reef stars, sea cucumbers, pi shags, royal spoonbills, and many other wonderful animals. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Sounds and Picton.

  Thanks for the great day

  I had an enjoyable experience. Our guide was friendly, attentive, and shared many fascinating facts about the wildlife and environment of Charlotte Sound. The scenery is stunning, and we saw plenty of birds. Lunch was delicious, but be prepared for it to be tiring, especially in windy conditions, as you may end up completely soaked.

  Beautiful day on the kayaks!

  It was a fantastic experience exploring the stunning Picton area from the kayaks. Our guide allowed us to set the pace, which meant we could pause frequently to observe marine life.

  Great Tour through the Sounds

  The tour was fantastic, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Tom was an excellent guide, sharing valuable insights about nature and the environment. We kayaked a total of about 17 km, and I can still feel the muscle soreness today.

  Great tour with great guide Helen

  We enjoyed a kayak tour led by Helen, who was fantastic. I highly recommend this experience. It was a small group, filled with interesting stories about the area. Safety was prioritized, and I would definitely do it again.

  Memorable 2-Day Kayak Adventure

  My husband and I took the overnight kayak trip to Lochmara Lodge. On the first day, we paddled with the day group and our guide was knowledgeable and supportive. The map was quite useful once we separated from the group and it clearly showed landmarks. We were fortunate with the weather, having to paddle against the wind only in the final stretch to Lochmara. The Lodge is stunning and makes the stay worthwhile—it's a beautiful location. On Day 2, we paddled back to Picton using the map. We truly enjoyed the experience and are glad we participated.

  hiking and kayaking

  We arranged a 2-day hike along with a 2-day guided kayak adventure. Unfortunately, I had an injury just before starting the trip. The company adjusted my ferry ride to take me straight to the hotel, allowing me to walk the track in reverse that day and hike as much as I could. Since I couldn't participate in the kayaking, they provided alternative options for me. They were very accommodating and supportive throughout.

  Friendly, knowledgeable...

  Our tour guide Rachel was friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate as she led us to stunning spots around the sound near Picton. The delicious yet simple food served for morning tea and lunch enhanced this wonderful full-day experience.
