Kayaking Expeditions

Adventure is the spice of life

Kayak Expeditions aims to get you out of the comfort zone and into a life changing adventure. A couple of times a year we paddle along remote coastlines or follow the path of a river. We use double kayaks, they are safe and they allow to store a lot of items. The guides use single kayaks. We use different rivers and coastlines every time we go on expeditions. On some of the expeditions you will be the first kayakers to paddle along the coastlines or a river.

I am a German born Bavarian who lives in New Zealand. True adventures such as Ernest Shakleton, James Cook, Edmund Hillary and many others have always been an inspiration in my life. Been brought up in Bavaria I came into first contact with kayaks after having had a knee operation due to a sports injury. Kayaking in Europe is one of the last adventures you can do in this well organized continent.

Our Philosophy

We like you to join us at a real adventure which will enlighten your spirits and will enhance your life.  It is our aim to get close and personnel with the areas we paddle through and we respect the cultures of the people and tribes we meet along the way.

This is done in an environmentally friendly way to allow you to get close and personal to birds and wildlife.  We encourage to protect  the environment, and respect the culture with a minimum of pollution. We create our own policies to make sure that our staff and the customers benefit from our practices and encourage our clients to participate in our policies.

Why us?

• We have crisscrossed the planet many times, on foot, by boat, by kayak, cars and ferries. We believe that a real adventure enhances all our lives.
• Remote and off the beaten places is what we do. Nothing worse than a standard, boring bus journey – that is not us.
• We support local and small operators. The big commercial tourism operations are simply one thing we do not do.
