This trip takes you away from Picton Harbour to the truly spectacular western end of the Sound where there is less boat traffic and many beautiful bays and coves to explore as well as wildlife to encounter.
After a detailed safety briefing, it is time to set off on a great day's adventure. Your combo begins with a guided morning sea kayak tour in the picturesque western arm of Queen Charlotte Sound. Within a short time you are exploring the shoreline, spotting rays and sea birds and learning about the lush native bush near the water's edge.
Your kayak tour concludes a few hours later back at Ngakuta Bay. Here you will get your instruction for the walk ahead, before departing for your independent adventure on The Link Pathway back to Picton.
This section of the track passes through lovely bush with spectacular views of Queen Charlotte Sound and is a walk of 3-4 hours including a stop for enjoying lunch.
The Link Pathway includes several sections of a historic bridle path, built by early settlers and miners in the 1860s, and also WWII signal station remnants. This new track, built by volunteers, is a jewel waiting to be experienced.
Return time to Picton approx. 4:00pm.
