Excellent experience - friendly guide, super coffee and perfect kayaking environment. Guide however, was way too far ahead of the slowest kayak to be able to get to them in time if they would get in trouble (which they didn't).

No complaints here...we were saving to only do the activities really worth while and this one was a winner! Fabulous, friendly staff, excellent value for money no short cuts and the best cuppa ever - we thought our guide was joking when he took our orders and then made coffee on the sand.
Highly recommended even if you are on a budget. Don't pass on this one.
Thanks guys...we're still reminiscing about the adventure.

Very informative, guides were lovely. Special touch having refreshments made for you by your guide on the beach.

This trip was amazing. We had a great group, a wonderful guide and the fruit juice in champagne flutes and cookies in a blow hole was the most brilliant snack I've ever enjoyed. Beautiful weather, beautiful scenery and the friendliest bunch of bro's you're ever likely to meet.

Thought Coromandel Peninsula is the best place to be in NZ, but I was wrong... sitting in a kayak and paddling along the beautiful coastline is even better!! Did my first trip in October and had to come back for a second one during summer. The guides do a fantatastic job, taking care of unexperienced kayakers, making delicious coffee, telling all the stories about the landscape and history and answering every question with a smile on their face. THANKS CCK! Will be back for a third trip! :-)

Great Experience, we felt safe from the beginning and we learned so much about the history of the whtianga region, about the rocks, about the sea life. The most unexpected surprise: the perfect cappucino at cathedral cove. Definetively one of the top five highlights we have had on our holiday trip all over New Zealand. Inge and Joachim
