Overpriced and not well organised We were your only booking for this tour so you gave us to another water taxi to take us for the inicial walk. After reporting at 8am we departed 9am and reach the beach to hike the hike at 10.21. The hike takes 2h 11m and out next water taxi was 12.30 making is rush through the walk. You gave us a packed lunch which by the time we finished out walk it was soggy salad sandwich and no time to eat it as the boat captain was waiting on the beach. Then we did the Kayak. The tour guide said don’t worry about taking photos, enjoy it and I will take photos and email them to you. So we didn’t take photos and you didn’t email them. I feel this tour was a complete rip off at $295pp.

Brilliant Brilliant tour with super knowledgable guides. The staff were all so friendly, the tour was well organised and never felt rushed. Special thanks to the staff who found our lost camera and posted it on down to our next stop for us!

Slightly on the expensive side, but overall a very good service. We did the 3 day freedom kayaking trip, which was definitely one of the highlights of our time in New Zealand.

This was an awesome experience and a must do if you're in the area. Was it prefect? No, but nothing in life is. They were 30 minutes late each day and almost left us sitting at Anchorage due to a miscommunication, but it was a crazy Easter weekend. Wade the water taxi driver was fantastic and our guide Scarlett gave us great suggestions for our solo kayaking day. And definitely book the glamping night and wood fired pizzas with Mike and Birgit at Awaroa, such a treat. My one criticism would be the Ridgerest sleeping pad provided for the camping night at Bark Bay- come on guys it's 2026, those things were lame 30 years ago! All in all a great adventure.

Fantastic experience seeing seals, starfish, and even a penguin on the boat ride over to the starting point. I followed up the kayaking with a 12km hike back that was very pleseant and the trails are very well maintained. Our guide was also very knowledgeable about the sea life and the area and kept the entire group very engaged the entire trip.
