Itinerary
After a full safety and equipment briefing on a secluded beach, we kayak across Lake Wakatipu to Pigeon Island. A bird sanctuary in the heart of the Southern Alps. We stop on the beach for morning/afternoon tea and a short walk where we hopefully see some of the flightless birds that call the island their home, before paddling back along the wild shorelines overlooked by glaciers crowding the mountain peaks.

The guide was so friendly and very engaging!! Beautiful sights and super cute weka birds.
Our guide Marcus was amazing, .. offering expert kayaking operations and safety tips, interesting history of the glacier, lake, wildlife and vegetation, but more so was extraordinary with his hospitality, vast life experience and overall customer care. The lake was out of this world with its milky turquoise glacier flour, glass smooth surface, offering a once in a lifetime joyful trek. Cannot recommend this tour company enough.
Amazing views and the host was great, the car ride to glenorchy was a good opportunity to see more of Queenstowns scenery and the kayaking was easy to pick up!
This was a low key relaxing activity that brings you to a beautiful spot and gets you on the water. Everything was well organized. Safety measures were reviewed and Marcus was an excellent guide. We thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon. Even got up close to several Wekas on the island.
I cannot say enough positive things about this. Rippled Earth is a small business set up in Queenstown managed by Sam. We were 9 individuals in our group and Sam and his team went above and beyond to pick us up from our hotel and took us for a kayaking trip to Pigeon Island. The guides were knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend this especially if you are with younger children.
A nice way to see another part of Queenstown. Not a long paddle but very scenic. The guide was very helpful and informative.
The weather was perfect (sunny and no wind), so kayaking to and from Pigeon Island was a dream. Our guide, Amanda, was informative and professional as well as very personable. Totally recommend this activity if you are looking for some serenity and relaxation close to Queenstown.
Went as a family of 6 with 4 kids aging from 11-16. Was a fun experience to have the lake to ourselves and kayak to the island. We were picked up from Queenstown and the road is windy and bumpy but has great views. The owner and guide were very patient and I would highly recommend the trip
