With so many beautiful lakes and rivers as a result of significant mountain ranges in the middle of both islands in New Zealand, there are a wide range of passive Kayaking and Canoeing options available.
A passive Kayak or Canoe trip through glorious New Zealand scenery on crystal clear and clean fresh mountain waterways is a fantastic way to experience some of New Zealand's uniqueness and an activity many Tourists want to participate in.
No experience is required and suitable options are available for all the family.
Trips range from a short paddle along a river in one of our many cities such as Christchurch, through to 2 - 5 hour trips along some of our beautiful natural rivers or around some of the significant lakes found in both Islands. This is a popular and highly recommended way to experience a part of 'the real New Zealand'.
