WHAT YOU VISIT
Queen Charlotte Sound by Sea Kayak
Discover the serenity and beauty of Queen Charlotte Sound from the seat of a kayak. Meet your guides and receive your double-seat kayak, equipment, route orientation and safety briefing. Set out along Queen Charlotte Sound and enjoy the beauty of the rugged coastline, dotted with bays, coves and small sandy beaches. No previous kayaking experience is required, but a good level of fitness and mobility is needed. Expect to paddle for two hours, sometimes in breezy conditions requiring sustained strenuous exertion. Prepare to get a little wet.
What you will see along the way:
Enjoy a brief but immensely scenic drive through Whenuanui Bay Scenic Reserve, a large natural environment that juts into Queen Charlotte Sound. Upon reaching sheltered Ngakuta Bay, set off on a double-seat kayak to discover pristine shoreline, scenic coves and the abundant wildlife that call these nutrient-rich waters home. Look for fur seals, dolphins and other wildlife as well as seabirds and maybe even blue penguins as you glide.
Snack:
Juice and a snack are offered during the tour.
