Escape to the cool refuge of Queen Charlotte Sound in a comfortable kayak and view its serenity and beauty from a different perspective. Ideal for first timers and experienced kayakers, this scenic-filled adventure begins when your coach travels to Ngakuta Bay and the kayak staging area. Here, you'll meet your guides and receive your double-seat kayak, equipment, route orientation and safety briefing. Then, you'll set out along Queen Charlotte Sound and enjoy its rugged coastline, dotted with bays, coves and small sandy beaches. The nutrient-rich waters of the sound glisten from turquoise to emerald and attract seals, seabirds and other wildlife. If you're lucky you may see blue penguins, the world's smallest species of penguin, that dive to feed on fish and look to the skies for ubiquitous seabirds. After exploring the pristine shoreline and secluded coves, return to the motorcoach for the picturesque drive back to port.
