Fast-paced expedition taking in all of spectacular sights Milford has to offer!

Duration:

5.5 hours

About:

Paddle Difficulty: Tough

EXPECT: WIND & WAVES. PRIOR KAYAK EXPERIENCE IS A MUST FOR THIS TRIP.

18km. 3.5-4+ hours paddling. Departs Deepwater Basin. With an early start to avoid the worst of the day breeze (which develops later in the morning), the Morning Glory is a beautiful way to begin the day. Taking in the full length of the Sound, you paddle to the entrance of the fiord, weather permitting, and return via our water taxi. Spending longer on the water and travelling further than most of the kayak trips you can select, this is a fast-paced expedition taking in all of spectacular sights Milford has to offer.

IS THIS TRIP FOR ME?

The Morning Glory will suit you if:

You like the peace & quiet of an early start with plenty of photo opportunities. You are happy to kayak for over 4 hours in potentially turbulent waters. You have high levels of water confidence & physical fitness. You love playing in the wind & waves and aren't afraid to get wet! For safety reasons this trip is for 16 years and over only, if bookings are made for children younger than 16, your trip may be cancelled on site by the guide and no refunds given.

Note: Spaces are limited on each trip. If you book a trip that turns out isn’t right for you, you are taking the space from someone who could have enjoyed it! We cannot refund you if your guide deems you unsuitable to paddle, so please choose with care. If this looks too tough, might the Stirling Sunriser suit you better?
