Paddle Queenstown

Take the journey into the Queenstown back country with our breath-taking kayak or SUP experience to the stunning Moke Lake. Located just 20 minutes from Queenstown this quiet and peaceful setting allows you to escape the hustle and bustle of town and immerse yourself in a beautiful rural New Zealand environment surrounded by mountains. One of our friendly guides will pick you up from Queenstown and drive you in comfort to Moke Lake. Along the way you’ll get a knowledgeable (perhaps even funny) commentary about the local region and feel free to ask any questions. Once at Moke Lake we’ll run through a few safety features and let you paddle off at your own pace! When you return we’ll have a few kiwi refreshments waiting for you.
