Although the wind was howling the night prior, our guide (Helen) knew where to bring us to paddle to either work with the wind or avoid the wind. Alas- you couldn't trick nature we had to power through strong winds and rain, but safely made it to bay with Helen's lead. Helen was very knowledgeable about the area, history and fun facts. We received safety instructions, lunch and equipment were provided.
We had such an amazing time with Helen!! It was rather windy and not super warm out for this time of year but Helen went out of her way to make sure we were all comfortable and warm and feeling good about the trip. She really is such an expert not only in kayaking but also the local area and species IDing, it was really really cool to learn from her. She was very good at understanding the limits / preferences of the group and took us on a very nice tour, took pictures of us in the boats, and even brought us to see the stingrays (and IDed them for us which is crazy because they were rather blurry under the water most of the time). Super glad we went, would recommend. Lunch was super yummy too. The receptionist at the office was also super nice and friendly and knowledgable, really great people overall.
Wow, thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed and wonderful review! We’re thrilled you had an amazing kayaking experience with Helen, despite the windy conditions. She’ll be delighted to hear you enjoyed her expertise in kayaking, local wildlife, and species spotting. It’s fantastic to hear the whole team helped make your trip comfortable, fun, and memorable. Thanks so much for recommending us!
It was a great paddle! Glenn was very informative about the trees, birds and sea life. The equipment was good. We had a lovely day!
This was amazing! Kayla was our guide but all the staff was great. Plenty of up front training (I'm not an experienced kayaker) and then wonderful time on the water. Great lunch, too! Loved seeing the smacks of jelly fish and all the sting rays. I'd recommend for everyone!
Jamie was a highly knowledgeable and entertaining guide. We went in winter and got to see seals, hector dolphins, eagle rays, falcons and more it was incredible. Super easy, delicious lunch, he even had a kettle to warm us up with coffee. Highly recommend going in the quieter months, there is so much more to see.
Wow, what an amazing experience. Wilderness Guides were fabulous. Everything was organised.. Jake our guide was professional, knowledgeable and made sure all our needs we met.. we could not have had a better time thanks to him. The accommodation and food was great and we had the best weather to hike and kayak through the Queen Charlotte Pass. Thanks to the whole team at Wilderness Guides for a wonderful experience.
We traveled from the north island for this experience. Our trip was cancelled at 9.30pm night before leaving us no time to find another operator. Poor service as far as we are concerned.
Hi Rosina, Thank you for your message and we are very sorry about the cancelled kayak trip. Unfortunately with our guide being sick, we could not offer the trip you had booked and Steve did offer a rental kayak as an alternative. Prior to Covid, we had 15 staff - these days we operate with a staff of four including one main guide, who called in sick on Saturday evening. We were concerned initially that there was a risk of Covid in which case we would have been close contacts and the business would have had to shut while we self-isolated. These are difficult times. We are very sorry you were disappointed but please be assured Steve did try very hard to get a replacement guide and to offer a suitable alternative. He was reluctant to ring you at 9.30pm at night hence the text message. We will definitely take that feedback on board for the future though. If there is any way we can make up for this experience, please let me know. If your travels bring you this way another time, we would be more than happy to offer you a free day kayak rental. These Covid times are very difficult for tourism businesses such as ours due to our limited capacity but we are trying our very best. With our best wishes, Juliet & Steve Gibbons Owners
The scenery and wildlife were amazing and the day was so much fun. Our guide really knew his stuff and was extremely knowledgeable of the area. The day was paced to suit needs with safety and enjoyment being paramount. This was a lovely experience all round and highly recommend.
Had a fantastic day kayaking around the Sounds - Sean (Shaun?) was a brilliant guide with extensive knowledge of the local history and wildlife. Best way to explore the area, worth every cent
Kayaking in the Marlborough Sounds was the absolute highlight of our weekend trip to Picton. Martyn was our amazing guide who knew alot about the history of the sounds, plant life and wildlife. He tailored the 1-day guided tour to suit how adventurous we wanted to make it and we couldn't have asked for anything or anyone better. We would recommend this experience to anyone who visits Picton, it definitely opened our eyes to how beautiful the area is and how lucky we are to see it from this perspective.
That's fantastic to hear and thank you for your review! Kayaking is a great way to experience the Marlborough Sounds and thanks for choosing to do that with us - we will pass on your kind words to Martyn. Hope we see you another time . . .
