Lovely kayak!
I really enjoyed the kayak tour in the Sound. The guide was very knowledgeable about the land and sea environment that we were touring. We saw about 8 sting rays, what a treat!

Great morning out
Very nice trip, especially if you're lucky with the weather (I hear morning has calmer water than the afternoon). Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. They try to start outside of Picton if possible so that you avoid the boat traffic and get to visit the quieter and nicer bays.
