Activities
If you're looking to do any sort of Kayaking, these guys are fantastic. They also have Water Taxis. So you can kayak one way and water taxi the other. Another option (our favourite) is to walk from Marahau to Anchorage then water taxi back. The walk takes 2.5 hours non stop but if you've got all day then there are plenty of stops you can enjoy along the way. Finish with a swim at Anchorage and Water Taxi back to your car in Marahau.
