Explore Magical Milford With Us!
Explore the peace of Piopiotahi/Milford sound from the comfort of a safe, stable double sea kayak while being regaled with stories of the flora and fauna from your local guide who live in and love the place they call home. We look forward to sharing the water and lands that we love with you!
Why Kayak? Here are just half a dozen of the many reasons to paddle with us to explore Milford:
- Milford Sound is considered the 8th wonder of the world, and kayaking gives you the time to take it all in.
- Having that up close and personal experience with the flora and fauna is a photographer's dream.
- We tailor all our trips to maximise the sun and avoid paddling into the wind.
- We supply everything to keep you warm, dry and safe while paddling.
- Small group to guide ratio so you have your guide at hand to indulge all your questions.
- Some of the wildlife you may observe – New Zealand Fur Seals to Fiordland Crested Penguins, Bottle Nose and Dusky Dolphins and sometimes even whales, our team know which nooks and crannies to explore!
***We operate safely, following all Covid guidelines - and we have extra measures in place to keep staff and guests safe.
