Great Tour, absolute recommendation!
The Tour was a wonderful experience! We were only 5 people, had a really good guide who told us very interesting things about the Maori Background of the Island and was aware of everybodys needs and safety in a very friendly and unobtrusive way. My first time in a Kajak but definitely not my last, but I think people with Kajaking experience will also enjoy the Tour into the Island! Would always do it again!
