Come explore the head of Lake Whakatipu with our experienced guide, starting from where the Dart River meets the lake, surrounded by mountains the whole time. We offer 1 hour and 2 hour trips and can customise trips to suit your needs.

Kayak Kinloch will give you a different perspective of the land around you and help you slow down to appreciate the quiet surrounding you. Enjoy the native bush, birdlife and serenity of going where very few people venture.

All required equipment is provided by Kayak Kinloch; shortie wetsuits, spray jackets, and life jackets are also available. You will have a choice of single or double kayaks so those with less experience are welcome to join.

Delicious morning or afternoon refreshments are provided for our 2hr trips; all dietary requirements can be accommodated.

Our restaurant offers hearty meals to help you recoup some of the calories you’ve burnt out on the water. There are also plenty of walks and activities nearby to make a day of it, or we have the perfect places to relax and soak up the view if you stay with us – the hot tub is our favourite.

Please note:

We only have 2 double kayaks so only 2 children under 12 can be on one trip, unless the children are experienced enough to kayak solo.

Group sizes are a maximum of 8 with 1 guide. We need minimum of 2 to run a trip.

Trips only run during the summer season, Oct – April, Wednesday-Sunday, subject to guide availability. Please contact us before coming out to check trips can be run with the weather conditions.
