5.0/5
We had the opportunity to kayak up Fox River, this place has picturesque scenery of looming cliffs and native jungle fringing the water.
Great experience. The owner is very kind and funny, making us feel welcome.

Interesting.
Not very expensive, beautiful, a bit cold. Organisation and the safety not so good, but the experience was great

Brilliant!
Ken was great :) He was so lovely and relaxed. He helped us out with everything and soon got us sorted for our trip. We had such fun and the scenery was amazing, just what we wanted.
We regularly kayak at home in the UK and we live near the sea so definitely wanted to experience river kayaking in New Zealand.
We are now home but I still haven't taken the string fixed to my sunglasses ;) Thanks Ken.
