[Paddlewise] New Zealand questions from a newbie...

Hi, folks:

I want to do a sea-kayaking-centered trip to New Zealand sometime in late
November or early December. REI Adventures has a trip that goes down
there, but it features only 2 light days of sea kayaking out of 14 total;
blech.

Can anyone recommend good outfitters (NZ-local or stateside) that do
longer (10-14 day) trips in New Zealand? Alternatively, can you make
destination and/or outfitter recommendations for shorter trips (I may
string together a series of 3-dayers, linked by trampabouts, if that's the
best way to go)

I'm asking here because I'd rather go with an outfitter I know something
(however peripherally) about. 

Thanks in advance,

-ashton
