Alpine Kayak Guides, Wanaka Kayak Tours
Alpine Kayak Guides, offer fun, scenic and safe kayaking trips on local Wanaka Rivers from October to April. Experience first hand the thrill of kayaking from a relaxed introduction to a full-on day of paddling. Alpine Kayak Guides can give you what you want. Our experienced guides will show you the wonders of this spectacular region and you will come away with an experience that is altogether unforgettable.
We use "freedom" sit-on-top kayaks. This is unique to Alpine kayak guides & what we consider to be a huge leap forward in beginner/intermediate kayaking. These boats are comfortable, fun & allow you to achieve much more skill in a shorter amount of time. Instead of minutes to get back in you kayak it's now seconds. We can have you surfing waves, boofing through rapids & even handstands on your boat on a half day trip! These boat perform as ordinary kayaks would & are even capable of rolling (if you can).
Alpine Kayak Guides offer a range of white water kayaking trips on Grade 2+ rivers in the Wanaka region. We supply all the necessary equipment (including our fleet of Bliss-stick boats) and instruction from qualified guides for an enjoyable day of learning and adventure.
