The company runs two core experiences: the Hobbit Kayak Tour and the Private Hobbit Kayak Tour. Both tours center on paddling stable tandem inflatable kayaks through scenic waterways near Havelock, with safety gear provided and complimentary photographs included to capture moments on the water.
The Hobbit Kayak Tour is a 3–4 hour family-friendly paddle suitable for all skill levels, emphasizing safety, comfort and shared outdoor adventure. The Private Hobbit Kayak Tour expands the experience with a gourmet picnic by the river, a guided bushwalk to hidden pools, an engaging flora and fauna talk, and optional team-building activities. The private option is tailored for reunions, birthday parties and adventures with young children.
Pelorus Eco Adventures focuses on small group dynamics and accessible itineraries that keep families comfortable while exploring local natural features. Guides provide safety equipment and photographic mementos as part of the tour package. The combination of on-water paddling and short on-land walks enables guests to see both river scenery and native bush highlights.
