Kajak and Walk

Ein Highlight-Tag unserer Neuseelandreise! Wir hatten strahlenden Sonnenschein und ruhige See. Nach einer Einweisung ging es mit dem Bus zum Einstiegsort. Das Paddeln hat total viel Spaß gemacht und die Aussicht war toll! Wir haben sogar kleine Robben gesehen! Anschließend gab es ein süßes Picknick am Strand. Das Essen war wirklich super. Sandwiches, Brownies (die besten meines Lebens!), Energyballs, Säfte, Wasser, frisches Obst.. Richtig lecker! Nach dem Essen begann der ungeführte Teil. Wir haben noch etwas Zeit an dem kleinen Strand verbracht und sind dann den Rückweg angetreten. Es ist ein super schöner Spaziergang mit tollen Ausblicken auf das Meer. Immer wieder gibt es die Möglichkeit zu Badestränden runterzulaufen und zu relaxen. Ein rundum gelungener Tag, den wir jedem weiterempfehlen würden!

War super!!

Wir hatten zuerst das Kajak fahren, waren in einer kleinen Gruppe unterwegs von acht Leuten, das Mittagessen anschließend war super und auch der Walk zurück war sehr schön.

Schöne Tour

Wegen des Wetters sind wir zuerst Kajak gefahren und dann von unserem Picknik Spot zurückgelaufen. Auf dem Weg haben wir ganz viele Seehunde auf Adele Island gesehen und durch die Rücktour zu Fuß hatte man noch einen ganz anderen Blickwinkel auf die wunderschönen Strände und Buchten. Wir hatten sogar noch Zeit um schwimmen zu gehen. Insgesamt ein wunderschöner Tag!

SUPER

Es war alles super organisiert und der Guide passt sich dem Fitnesslavel der Gäste an :). In einer kleinen Gruppe von 4 Kajaks hatten wir viel Spaß und sahen u.a. süße Babyrobben in natürlicher Umgebung. Am Ziel, einem schönen Sandstrand, gab es ein wunderbares Picknick, bevor wir mit einem kleinen Boot zurückgebracht wurden. Ein wunderschönes Erlebnis. Vielen Dank - Awesome :)
