Guided Basic Half Day Tour of Otago Peninsula with Kayak Taiaroa Head or Quarantine Island Experience.

Leaves on demand - weather dependent. Total Duration: 6-7 hours.
This experience is totally weather dependent as to which of the kayak trips you will take. Either trip is fantastic. Just wait and see what the weather Gods let us do!
Similar in style to our other trips but we will also cycle from Portobello to where we take our kayak trip before returning you to your accommodation at its completion.
The kayak component is the most relaxed trip on the harbour with our time on the water being the longest (2-3 hours).
This tour is exclusive so only you and your group will be doing it with no stragglers along for the ride.
Your guide for this kayak will be the irrepressible Pat Curtin - a Kiwi bloke who most people will warm to, and if they don't then it's his problem to deal with and not ours (just kidding)!
We guarantee you will LOVE this trip- Pat included (actually, especially Pat) !!!
