She did a fantastic job telling us about the flora and fauna in the area as we paddled. We saw stingrays and seals along the way as well.

It was a good tour, but a warning to solo travelers: you will be kayaking with another person who may not be fit. I was put with an older woman and basically paddled her around for the 3+ hours. This was bothersome as I am young and want to explore niche beaches around the sound, but all of the fitness was left to me.This was a great half day trip out of Picton. The location of the starting point was very handy, right in the center of town on the bay. The scenery was wonderful, the length of the trip and pace were just right for us.

The scenery was wonderful, the length of the trip and pace were just right for us. Our guide was excellent, she was very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable about the area (she was from Picton).It was my first time kayaking on the sea and so I was a bit nervous before.

It was my first time kayaking on the sea and so I was a bit nervous before. But it was much easier than expected. Alex our guide was really nice and I never felt unsure. He showed us rays and we even saw a shark. And it was great that the tour was planed after the wind so we never had the wind against us. We have been picked up at the end so we didn't have to go the same way twice. I really would recommend this tour to everybody. And it's no problem if you are not an experienced kayaker!
