Kayaking Milford Sound

With a 7am starting time, this was an early kayaking trip. It had been built up in our minds since the iSite staff had asked three times whether we were water competent and confident of our kayaking prowess but turned out to be more relaxing and much less strenuous than our hikes the day before. The weather continued to cooperate and despite forecasted swells near the mouth of the Tasman we were able to kayak right out to the end of the sound (roughly 18-20km of kayaking). Along the way we swung under two waterfalls, saw a dolphin following one of the bigger ships, swung close to some seals, and were eaten alive by sandflies when we landed on shore for a brief break.
