Reviews of Marlborough Sounds Adventure Company - Hike, Bike & Kayak Tours
M.
Communications with the ladies were always clear and simple. At one stage we were unsure whether we were able to go because of the lockdown, but they dealt with the situation with great flexibility. Everything was well organized and went very smoothly. We had fantastic experience. Thank you very much.
A.
We had the most amazing experience walking the Queen Charlotte Track through their service. Everything went so well we loved the service and the entire experience and felt we got great value for the money as well. Would do it again and highly recommend!!
N.
It's very confusing if you Google Picton Kayaking as the operators all seem to run pretty much identical trips at identical times. This was the only operator whose website looked like it wasn't an agency for someone else (actually they are all independents but we didn't know that at the time). We ended up being the only couple on the morning trip - originally we planned to do afternoon, but actually morning is probably calmer and nicer plus the hotel was literally 5 minutes from the office.
Dave the owner took us out for a loop from Ngakuta Bay. Really enjoyed the trip and Dave was very good at taking his time to chat to us about the area. Great morning break on the other side of Grove Arm. Saw some birdlife, a couple of rays and a seal lounging on a rock. On the way back my wife relived her memories of the area as she had done the Outward Bound course a long time ago and her 'solo' spot was passed by, Dave had a fair idea where all those spots were. Anyway this has given us some confidence we could return another day (and year) and do an independent trip through the Sounds.
Thanks for the great morning.
G.
Great outfit. Helped get us equipped for a four day kayak trip throughout the Sound. Really appreciated their recommendations on where to go and stay. Would recommend.
P.
Pretty awesome for a first timer. Dryden Bay was pretty private and restful. A great place if your looking to relax and go out on the water.
T.
I did one day of Queen Charlotte Track on MTB and it was awesome. I had really good bike in a perfect condition. All trip was well organized with water taxis and also including track permit. I recommend.
R.
Having just returned from a school camp in Mistletoe Bay, Marlborough Sounds , Dave and his team have taken our group through a number of activities, that where both challenging and fun, creating 'buy in' from the 12-13 year old kids
The Marlborough Sounds Adventure Company guides were exceptional, they where encouraging, communicated exceptionally well and always where focused on the children's safety. I thoroughly recommend using this company for exploring the stunning Marlborough Sounds or team building exercises
K.
Absolutely loved it here there was plenty to do before we caught the InterIslander back to Wellington. We went for coffee and cake then went shopping after that went to the museum then went and took some beautiful photos of the place. I wanna go back to the South Island I miss it already😁😉😊🤗 Thanks for all you offered to me and my Husband on our 22nd wedding anniversary South Island it was AMAZING!!! We will never forget it and I definitely am coming back👌👍👏💖💕💖
W.
Fantastic day-long guided kayaking trip of the Marlborough Sounds. Guide was knowledge and informative. Wildlife sightings were phenomenal: jellies, sharks, rays, seabirds, amazing! Lunch and teatime were a treat!
H.
Hired a kayak with a friend for a half day ($40pp for 4 hrs) and was provided with all the safety gear, windbreakers and a waterproof map. The safety induction wasn't too long or boring and we were given some great advice about where we could get to and how long the different sections took. Had a wonderful and exhausting time and got back right on time. Staff were wonderful, happy to answer any of our questions.
M.
Kayaked a couple of places along the upper South Island and this was our favorite. Fantastic views and perfect weather. The staff were lovely and more than helpful in getting us setup and on our way.
T.
Best day out.the gide was very nice help us out alot
R.
Quality Ebikes for hire at a sensible price. Easy to deal with. Knowledgeable staff. Would use again and recommend to others.
P.
What a great set up, lovely people, dead easy to deal with, very knowledgeable and great service. I had a kayak then a mountain bike from them. Wouldn't hesitate to go back
a.
Super cute small town populated by very friendly locals. The houses are built on the side of the mountains, practically everyone has a great view of the Sound and Harbour. Great choice for a cruise ship stop.
R.
Very helpful and friendly. Helped us plan a great trip.
M.
We had a fantastic time. We'll organised and fun trip.
L.
Good prices. Helpful sharing local knowledge and friendly staff.
J.
This was awesome! Who would know without doing the mail tour or any of the other transport options that these cool places exist
M.
We loved it! David was an awesome guide, patient and taught me how to paddle. Great lunch! Everything was gorgeous!
R.
Love the ride on the boat friendly staff beautiful sights of the malborough sounds
R.
Wonderful tour - our second time with them. Ship is incredibly well handled allowing close views of wildlife ashore and in the water. As tends to be chilly so they provide thick coats for all, plus coffee or tea and cookies on the way back. Crew were also very caring with some of our elderly passengers. Can't say enough positive about the crew and tour.
A.
We had an awesome day on Grove Arm, cloudless, calm and fairly quiet boat traffic. The guide was knowledgeable about the flora and fauna in the area, and very flexible with the agenda other than the times to be at the pick up points. We dropped the half-day folks off after morning tea, and paddled around the other side of Grove Arm, had a fine lunch at a beach shared by a few Queen Charlotte Track users. The absolute highlight though was a rare sighting of a small pod of Hector's dolphins in Governor's Bay, just after morning tea, and sitting in our kayaks watching them swim around us playfully. This was only the second time this year our guide had seen them, the smallest and rarest dolphins in the world. So amazing!
S.
Beautiful & amazing experience, views & a unforgettable memory to have & share with other's
S.
Great service and staff at Cougar Line. Marion is a godsend. The staff and skippers and Fred and great and so friendly. Quick service and great for grocery drop off in these strange Covid times. Thanks Cougar
G.
An excellent company in a fantastic location
J.
Vince our guide was wicked. He made sure we had a great time. Gorgeous day to tour the sounds with pretty much open waters except the ferry. They take care of everything even lunch and snack. Yum lunch was sooo delicious. They pick up snacks from near by local bakeries and shops. Kayaks felt very stable and safe. We spent almost 6 hours covering tons of the malborough sounds. Thank you for an amazing experience!
K.
We arrived at Picton from a cruise ship and the half day kayaking tour was perfect for us, the adventure company office was a short walk from where the bus dropped us off. Chris and the team at adventure company were great. Thanks again for a great day out, cheers
A.

M.
Great kayaking along the Queen Charlotte Track. Alicia was a great guide, explained everything even though we have never done any kayaking before. She also helped us with special requests and was fun to talk to.
D.
This is the second time we have completed the Queen Charlotte Walk with Marlborough Sounds Adventure Company. We liked it so much the first time we returned 5 years later with friends.
Stunning scenery - one of the best walks anywhere in the world. Everyone in our group of ten enjoyed the five days and the option to travel by water taxi was very helpful for two of our group.
R.
Beautiful wonderland reminds me of our creator and how much he's provided for and cares for mankind it truly is a very special gift that needs to be protected like the rest of our earthly home and it occupants. We need to stop the greed seriously stop ruining our earth and look to it's creator to live peacefully upon it. Revelation 4 : 11 May the honor and the glory go to him who created all things .
j.
I'm assuming this was the company who handled my transport to the Affinity's berth from Picton. If so, the driver was very nice and gave intelligent info on many sights during the short journey from Picton to ( can't remember the name of the place).
C.
Just beautiful! We really enjoyed our cruise on the mail boat today. It was the perfect ending to our month on the south island.
A.
It was fine he recommended that we didn’t go out since the water was choppy but we did anyways. Fine service and gear.
C.
Great boat tour of the area. Lots of history from the guide who is 6th generation local!
A.
Excellent tour, the staff were so friendly and lovely. They cooled loads of mussels and clams for us. Amazing!

(Translated) Beautiful building, small outdoor pool, right in the city center, a short walk everywhere. Large parking lot. Room smaller but everything clean. Bathroom small, but it works. There is a large common room with a fireplace and a dining room where breakfast is served, which is included in the price. You can sit on the terrace. Very pleasant welcome.
(Original)
Krásný objekt, malý venkovní bazének, přímo v centru města, všude kousek pěšky. Velké parkoviště. Pokoj menší, ale vše čisté. Koupelna malá, ale jde to. K dispozici je velká společenská místnost s krbem a jídelna, kde se podává snídaně, která je v ceně. Lze posedět na terase. Velmi příjemné přivítání.
