Glenorchy Island Safari, Selbstfahrer-Option

We booked a family kayaking tour on April 9, and it turned out to be one of the most memorable experiences of our South Island trip. A special thanks to our guide, Andy, who provided clear and helpful kayaking instructions, along with sharing his knowledge about Pigeon Island, Lake Wakatipu, and the surrounding area. His knowledge and enthusiasm truly made the whole experience even more enjoyable.

We had that section of the lake and the island almost all to ourselves and it was so peaceful! Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable and I thought it was fantastic value given the price of other tours from Queenstown

Such a fun afternoon. Really e hyped this activity. Andy was a great guide and kept us safe and informed and entertained. Beautiful scenery

Andy was an excellent tour guide. We truly enjoyed the kayak cruise on the lake and the hike on the island. It may make more sense to revise the meeting place to be by the lake where the tour starts on kayaks rather than in Glenorchy followed by a drive to the lake launch area. Just a suggestion.

The whole experience was relaxed and very enjoyable, Marcus and Andy are very personable and great guides. I would highly recommend booking this regardless of your kayaking experience. We were very lucky in that when we arrived at the hut, a family of Weka walked right out in front of us. There was a speculation that they knew when the cake was going to arrive.

Fantastic kayaking experience with Glenorchy Island Safari. The guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and made everyone feel safe. Stunning scenery, calm waters, plus a lovely break with hot Raro drink and fruit cake. Very well organised and truly unforgettable.

Absolutely priceless morning on the lake with our guide Andy. The threat of wind never arrived and concluded our trip with an extra long paddle to enjoy such good weather. Meditative and therapeutic for sure.

It was an amazing and lovely day on the water with our friendly guide Grace! She was knowledgeable, funny, warm and a great storyteller! We loved hanging out with her kayaking around the lake. It was a beautiful day and the water was so nice and peaceful. Highly recommend! Thank you again Grace for an amazing day ❤️

We had the best time kayaking on Lake Wakatipu to Pigeon Island! Our guide, Amanda, was amazing and made the experience very comfortable. She was so friendly, great to have a laugh with and had so many insightful stories about New Zealand. We felt so safe on the water and were able to go at our own pace. A very memorable experience that we will be sure to tell everyone about!

Amanda was a fantastic tour guide and has excellent knowledge to share! We had a great time kayaking with her and thoroughly enjoyed this experience!!
