During a gentle walk with beautiful views at every turn, our guide will show you the best spots to pause, take pictures and listen to stories about the unique trail, its thriving nature and the magnificent part of New Zealand it calls home.
**IS THIS TRIP FOR YOU?**
The Paddle n Walk will suit you if:
You're a beginner kayaker who doesn't want to paddle too far.
You would rather not paddle out into the fiord.
You want to enjoy a remote, scenic walk.
You love peace & quiet and being off the beaten track!
Note: This trip does not go out into the fiord. If you would rather spend more time on the water and paddle the fiord, might the Milford Cruiser suit you better?

###ENGLISH COMMENTARY:
All our trips are English speaking. You must have a basic understanding of English in order to follow our guides' safety instructions.
###DO YOU GET SEA SICK?
If it’s a yes, then we strongly recommend bringing a sea sickness remedy with you and taking as directed - before and, if needed, during your trip. The difference between really enjoying your kayaking experience or not can be as simple as being prepared. ALL of our kayak trips are on the sea, and have the potential to be affected by sea conditions. Note that our outer fiord trips (Morning Glory, Afternoon Delight, Twilight Classic, Stirling Sunriser) have conditions that are more affected by swells. If you need to be picked up from a trip and transported back to our base using our water taxi, there will be a flat fee of $50 NZD charged per kayak. Please take this into consideration when booking any of our kayak tours.
