View on Google MapsHannah is a wonderful guide. She keeps everyone safe while explaining about the fascinating sea and land life. Our 4 hour trip was seamless from start to end point. Fun to have a one way kayak journey and be picked up at the end by a van to return along the mountain road to Picton. The sunny day topped off our experience. Highly recommend
A great experience for us. As beginners we were quickly shown the ropes and experienced 4 hours of tranquil paddling in paradise.
We had a fantastic time on our half day guided kayak tour with Hannah. Everything was great about the trip from the kayaks, scenery and homemade slice for morning tea. Our guide Hannah couldn’t have been friendlier or more interested in us. She was also fantastic telling us stories about the area we were paddling through.

We had a great experience while we were in Picton for the day from our Cruise Ship, Anthem of the Seas. The trip was based on the cruise ship's arrival, so we didn't need to worry about getting there on time. Our guide, Hannah, was a total star. She made us feel safe, gave clear and easy to understand instructions, and kept us engaged throughout the half-day. We were blessed with incredibly good weather, and our small group of 6 guests in total had the opportunity to see some incredible wildlife up close, such as jellyfish and eagle rays. We covered a decent amount of distance at a good pace for everyone, and were treated to a coffee and snack mid-way through. We would 100% recommend doing this for anyone stopping in Picton to experience the beautiful Marlborough Sounds!
We did the half-day kakay trip and we LOVED it! It went by very quickly -- and it's not very hard for those of us who might not have a lot of arm strength! Our guide was Hannah and one of the things we enjoyed most about her is that she truly loves her job as well as living in New Zealand. She was also very patient with the other couple who joined us and did not speak English very well. We saw a lot of birds, and stingrays. The water was so clear, and the scenery was beautiful. This was a fun way to see Charlotte Sound from a lot of different perspectives.
The kayaking with the Marlborough Sounds Adventure Co was fantastic! Our guide, Hannah, was so patient and helpful, teaching my wife and I the basics of ocean kayaking, which we had never done before. We had so much fun kayaking through the Marlborough sound and being able to view the sound from the water. We left the town of Picton and kayaked through the sounds to a small beautiful beach, viewing amazing wildlife and scenery along the way. The tour was great for beginner kayakers as well. It was a fantastic experience that has been one for the main highlights of our trip in New Zealand!
We had great weather and Andy couldn’t have been more accommodating with storing our mountain bikes we had with us. And overnight as well after our kayak. Thank you Jordan for sharing your knowledge of the Sounds. We really enjoyed our excursion on the sea.
Really great trip if you don’t have time for the full day version. You get a good taste of the Marlborough Sound and Tom was excellent at pointing out all the different wildlife along the way. Tom was also really good at managing the group in the challenging headwind conditions and made sure there were frequent breaks. Was also a really nice touch that they provided cakes as a snack along the trip. Equipment was all in good condition and easy to use.
We had a great tour. Our guide Jason was very competent and friendly. We learned a lot about Picton and the surrounding area. We did the half-day tour and even had a small picnic. The company really wanted us to have a great experience on a personal level, which made us feel very welcome.
We experienced the perfect weather for our half day. The water was calm. Our guides were knowledgeable and very communicative. The oat slice was a yummy special treat!
