3 Day Outer Sounds Sea Kayaking and Camping

Marlborough-Sounds-Kayaking

As sea kayaking was meant to be – this three day trip will take you back to what sea kayaks were designed for. Be at one with the wind and the waves, the bush and the wildlife as you paddle through the maritime wilderness of Queen Charlotte Sound. This is a three day sensory delight of peace and tranquillity, where you will quickly become one with your sea kayak and the spectacular environment surrounding you.

The many coves and inlets of the outer-Queen Charlotte Sound are surrounded by magnificent stands of virgin native bush plunging down to crystal clear water. Your trip is so remote that the only sounds you will hear is bird-song and the occasional splash from a diving gannet or dolphin. This is a relaxed paddling adventure suitable for any moderately fit person (no previous experience necessary). The trip includes a water-taxi ride to the outer-Sound, all food and camping equipment, your guide and all kayak equipment.

On this adventure food and comfort are priorities. This holiday package is as much about pleasure in the outdoors as about adventure. Much care is taken in the selection of comfortable campsites, quality equipment and delicious homecooked food.

Camping and Food

Each night you will camp at a different campsite (depending on weather) and your guide will cook you a delicious 3 course dinner while you enjoy the sunset.  You may have time to do some fishing for your dinner or pick some mussels as an entree, either way we guarantee that you will love the home cooked food!

Importantant Information

It is important to note that this trip is entirely dependent on weather and that the itinerary could change due to persisting weather conditions.   At all times the guide will make decisions that are in the best interests of the group and client safety is a priority to us. The itinerary is designed for novice to moderately experienced paddlers and as a general rule we have designed the itinerary so that you will only be paddling for a maximum of 5 hours per day - 2½ hours in the morning and 2½ hours in the afternoon.  However clients need to be of moderate fitness as situations can arise where you will be required to paddle strenuously, due to weather conditions, for two or three hours to a destination.
