It has been a pleasure to work with Kim as she gears up for the opening of her second location. Kim is great at keeping her team motivated, and with true Kiwi style and enthusiasm, she manages to keep all the balls in the air, get everything done that has to be done and keep everyone smiling throughout. She is a pleasure to work with and I recommend her to anyone looking to plan a special event "downunder" !

It's been a pleasure to watch Kim build Downunder Kayaking into the thriving business it is today. I credit her energy and enthusiasm, her organization, her talent with people, but most of all I credit her vision. From the first she has seen the company's potential, and no matter how well things are going, I know she's always looking towards another horizon.
