★ 5.0

“This was one of my favourite things to do in NZ. The experience was brilliant from beginning to end. The lake was so scenic, but calm so we as first time kayakers didn’t struggle. Great clear instruction and friendly customer service. Couldn’t it! Thank you for making such special memories for us.”
