There were a few details about my experience that were not as advertised. Firstly, sunscreen and bug spray were NOT provided, which is in direct opposition to what the website said -and how I planned my day. The biting flies were intense - WEAR PANTS AND A LONG SLEEVE SHIRT.nnI thought that we were going on a 4 hour excursion as the site implies but we were back before 5pm, spending less than 2 hours on the water. I specifically booked this tour because it was 4 hours long, and even if you count safety briefing and travel time it was still less than three, less than two on the water.nnThe big highlight of this paddle is that you are crossing through some of the scenery that was filmed in the Hobbit, which was pointed out to us. However, the laminated photos that we were provided for context for these shots were in such low image quality that it was actually very hard to see what we were being shown. It looked like someone had texted an old JPEG and then photocopied it seven times, it was mostly just pixels. I was surprised, considering that that is the highlight of this tour, that the quality of the images was so low.nnI do want to shout out to my host, as she was incredibly knowledgeable and accommodating, and a wellspring of knowledge about the local area and wildlife. She did make us all feel quite safe and relaxed. I would say, however, that she was the only saving grace of the whole tour. I wouldn't recommend this tour otherwise.
The weather was horrible, but we were lucky enough to be the only 2 people on the tour. Jade was a superstar and very knowledgeable. Being such a small group, it was over sooner than planned, but considering we went for an unplanned swim we were ready to dry out in the van back. Thank you for an amazing adventure.
Holy Holy had the best adventure tour with Shane and Khan out on thier 22meter tuna fishing boat. They went out and beyond to thier ability to make it a trip of a life time. Covered all the species, fishing, deer hunting pig hunting and cray fish for breakfast. These two are the true southern experience with the sourthern rawness that make you know your experiencing the real thing.nThe beauty is they can organise accomadation at the blue mountain lodge and throw in mountain biking too.nThanks Shane and Khan for making this an experience never to be forgotten.
We had a great time on the beautiful Pelorus river! Being winter, we got a nice, fresh day on the water. Our guide, Jade, was knowledgeable, nice and relaxed. We will definitely recommend going here!nnJust remember a warm and dry set of clothes - which we managed to forget…
Thanks Jade for the awesome experience on the water! An amazing guide and very knowledgeable of the tourist spots. Was a ton of fun kayaking the river and the pictures were much appreciated!
