Great way to start the day

Wonderful trip down the estuary. Matt our guide was very nice and gave a good commentary about the history of the area.

Beautiful tour!

It's great to be so close to nature in a kayak. We had a great time at the falls!

Our experience

We had an enjoyable experience with Matt our guide. The best part was taking the kayak right up to the waterfall and enjoying it at length.

Boat trip along the river before kayaking to the waterfall and back.

Dan was an excellent guide; reassuring, informative and friendly. He encouraged us to explore different areas and gave clear instructions for positioning our kayak at the waterfall. Really enjoyed our time on the water.

April kayaking Bay of Islands

Good fun, not too taxing and Dann was excellent withhistory and safety. Recommend for a good morning activity and then you can go up the hill to the Whaitangi museum which is amazing.

Nice Kayaking tour to the Waterfall

It was a great Kayak Tour... Kade was a wonderful guide and it was nice that it was only 5 people in the group. The company does need to update the description about the tour because it says it was a 40 minute boat tour and then some kayaking. It was actually kayaking from the start point to the Waterfall and back. It was a nice kayaking trip... fairly easy. Thanks for the great tour Kade!

Sun, breeze, kayaking and waterfalls!

This is a simple and fun activity to do solo or with family. Our boat had 9 (including me, the solo-ist) and it all went really smooth. We started out moving a bit slow through the waters while the driver talked about history which was really cool. We were able to tuck our kayaks under some trees and find a really cool spot. We then headed over to the waterfall area. The falls are not enormous but its fun. Driver was super helpful and informative.

Lovely few hours on the water

Beautiful setting for an easy relaxed Kayak . Guide was helpful and very friendly . Slight issue with the timings being changed the day before but wasn’t a problem but could have been as needed to be back for cruise ship departure.

Kayaking fun under a waterfall.

Fantastic trip hosted by Dan and Antony. They were entertaining, extremely knowledgable on surrounds making the whole kayaking adventure amazing. Our teenage sons loved the experience and getting us under the waterfall (be prepared to get wet but wow it is so much fun. Thank you
