재미있었습니다
Highly recommend! Paddling area is limited to small area. But It is comprehensive if you think about your safety. It's gonna be really good experience even you don't have kayaking experience.

Nice spot but limited and crowded
A bit disappointed as the area you are allowed to paddle in is very tiny - so 30min is more than enough! We were more looking for a nice treck of several hours but not possible there. We wish we knew. Otherwise great service and good equipment. A lot of people this day - not the adventure we were looking for.

Thanks for taking the time to leave your review. Sorry you didn't get quite the experience you wished Laure. but you wouldn't have been able to take the kayak for several hours on a Bookme deal in any case! And yes, it certainly does get busy during the Summer months at Goat Island. Sounds like you might need to do sea kayaking in the Abel Tasman? All the very best and thanks for your kind comments about our service.

山羊岛kayak体验
山羊岛的海水清澈见底，海水颜色属于梦幻般的蓝色，非常美。kayak很容易学会，坐在船上还可以看到海里的鱼。此处也是浮潜的好去处，只不过鱼的种类少一些罢了。另外从高速上出来到山羊岛的路跟F1赛道似的，对于喜欢开车的人来说，也非常过瘾。一回来就把山羊岛推荐给了朋友。
