“Really enjoyed the evening, Paul and Conrad were knowledgeable and were keen for us to find the bioluminescence.”
Night kayak in Auckland’s Long Bay-Okura Marine Reserve to see glowing plankton, with beginner lessons, all gear, and small groups.
“Tour guides were fun and knowledgeable. Saw multiple types of bio. Beautiful stars and a couple planets visible for an added bonus.”
Sunset sea kayaking to Rangitoto, summit hike for Auckland views, kiwi BBQ dinner, then a guided night paddle back to Parnell.
“I really enjoyed this tour, its a great combination of kayaking, hiking and eating. The view is spectacular, the island is peaceful and beautiful, even though our day was a rainy one. Our guide is a brilliant host, he took care of everything and everyone regardless the fit levels. Highly recommend to everyone, you will love it, so did I.”
Sea kayak from Auckland to Rangitoto Island, hike to the summit, spot seabirds, and enjoy a Kiwi BBQ, with free pickup and small groups.
“Are you in Auckland? This is a MUST-DO experience! Informative and friendly guides took us to the island and back, and despite some interesting weather on the way back we had an incredible time!! Kayaking was moderate exercise and the hike was very scenic with incredible views. Zero regrets, 10/10, a perfect addition to our trip to New Zealand.”
Half-day sea kayaking from Auckland to Motukorea Island for extinct volcano summit views, small-group guides, and snacks included.
“This whole experience was awesome! We actually ended up going on the Rangitoto kayaking trip because the Motukorea one fell through on the day we had planned, so they put us on the more expensive tour with no additional costs! They were so accommodating. We had Bennet as a tour guide and he was so awesome, he deserves a bonus!! He was so easy to talk to, knowledgeable, and such a joy to spend the day with. Even though our tour was on a gloomy day, he adjusted our plans to make the day just as exciting and fulfilling as we had hoped for! He was such a fantastic guide.…”
