We had a fabulous morning kayaking with our wonderful guide Sara. We kayaked over to Adele Island where we were fortunate enough to see a number of seals including some seal pups who swam right up to our kayaks! We then did the 3 hour (although more like 2.5 hours) walk back along the coastal track.

Sara was a fantastic guide, she was informative, patient, fun and also extremely knowledgeable about the National Park and surrounding areas. We had a fabulous day and would highly recommend MSK.

In terms of admin, the process of sorting the hiring of the kayaks etc. was very easy and we were provided with wetsuits/jumpers/wind jackets and boots (as well as cookies and a warm cuppa at the end) as needed. Thanks Sara!

Just on Friday we had a group of 48 having the best time in Marahau thanks to the amazing guides and all the team at MSK. Some going on the water taxis for a half day tour and others on the half day blast with a mixture of water taxis and kayaking back to base. Everyone enjoyed themselves! I would highly recommend doing this with the team if you're in Nelson. ps if you time it right Hooked cafe has happy hour at 4pm! The beaches and the overall experience is one of a kind! A massive thanks to the team from us!

This crew was amazing. Last year my fiance and I did a day tour with them. It was a great experience, we even got to see baby seals. Unfortunately we dropped our Go Pro along the coast trying to film the wildlife. The tour guide spent 30 min in the freezing water with me trying to find it. We were unsuccessful but determined to try again. The following day, they lent us a free kayak and a wet suit to go out and try to find it. Believe it or not, we managed to find the Go Pro near to where we dropped it! This was above and beyond anything we expected and we are eternally grateful for them lending us that equipment and save our vacation photos. If we ever make it back, another round on us! (PS always remember to back up your photos)

We did the Gourmet Platter in January and we caught the perfect day, the whole experience was definitely worth the money. We all enjoyed the day regardless of our fitness levels (the very fit and sporty with kayaking experience, a recovering smoker and I at 20 weeks pregnant). The weather was great, the water taxi took us to see fur seals and the Split Apple Rock, on the walk we could enjoy spectacular scenery from various angles, the packed lunch was basic but tasty and the tandem kayaking was so much fun thanks to our guide Jamie. He was very knowledgeable and fun. The highlight of the day were definitely the dolphins. A whole pod (incl. calves) surrounded our water taxi and the skipper tried very hard to stay with them for as long as possible. The dolphins did their acrobatics and raced after the water taxi. It was an amazing experience. On none of our dolphin safaris did we see that many dolphins, could get that close to them and stay with them for that long.

rented a single kayak today to our own double kayak because we wanted to go out all the trhee of us.
we had to pay $20 for the safety instruction but got a ride to the beach and a wash of our kayak at the end as well.
just wanted to thank MSK for that deal and the service. we really enjoyed our day today.
great instructors and staff!
cheers

Let me start with saying we've taken the 'Gourmet Platter' deal and had a great fun.

The 'Gourmet Platter' deal is a full day, 160$ per person, 8 hours, which consists of a lunch, water taxi taking you to Torrent Bay, a self guided hike to Bark Bay, another water taxi to Observation Bay and finally kayaking back to Marahau.

The skies were clear so the views from the water taxi were really great. We got to see some Fur Seals on the way, too.

The walk was an easy two hour stroll, on mostly level terrain and through the bush.

The lunch part is actually misleading advertising. The name of the deal is 'Gourmet Platter' and they specifically say that lunch is included. We paid 160$ per person and I imagined we'd get some barbeque after the walk, or at least some hot meal. Imagine my surprise to get a brown paper bag with a ham sandwich, an apple and a brownie.

The kayaking was done on double kayaks in groups of eight people. It was a beautiful paddle with calm seas and clear skies, just great. Our guide, Sara (If I'm not mistaken), was really cheerful and informative.
Towards the beach we opened a sail while all of our kayaks were held together by us and we sailed to the beach. It was new and lots of fun.

Overall, you walk for two hours, kayak for one hour and a half and you get a sandwich for lunch. If was fun, but I just don't feel that it's worth 160$ per person, and it's not a full 8 hours of activity.
