“Perfect paddling”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 27, 2012

All of us (even our somewhat reluctant paddler aged 11) had a great half day with Ben. Conscious that we were novices Ben tailored the trip to suit us but never made us feel like we were rubbish - in fact quite the contrary. The weather wasn't as bad as we expected and we were a bit better than we... More

“Awesome Kayaking experience in beautiful surroundings!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 28, 2012

Our Guide Ben took us through a wonderful kayaking trip on Lake Wakitipu in Queenstown. We enjoyed the personal touch he gave to the tour and we had a 1/2 day trip which took us through some breath taking views. Ben gave us some interesting facts about the history of the lake, wildlife and surrounding areas. A truly wonderful experience... More

“Great excursion”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 15, 2012

Our guide, Ben, took us on an enjoyable trip following the coastline of Lake Wakatipu . Not only was he an excellent paddler he was also well informed on all aspects of the lake; its creation, its history but also very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna surrounding it . A cup of tea and biscuits was very welcome. More

“Spend the day on the lake”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 13, 2012

Our guide Ben was a very experienced kayaker, helping us get to grips with things in no time, and he has plenty of information and stories about the region which added to the fun of the trip. Even though I'd never kayaked before I was able to handle a full day on the lake with only a bit of stiffness... More

“The ultimate way to get in touch with the beating heart of Queenstown, Lake Wakatipu.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 7, 2012

Kayaking on Lake Wakatipu was the highlight of my outdoor activities in Queenstown. Breathing the fresh air, gliding across crystal clear water is the best way to "get away from it all". The physical activity is also a nice excuse to splash out at dinner later on! More
