NEW ZEALAND · KAYAK TRIPS IN AUCKLAND
The good kayak trips in Auckland go early and the great ones go earlier. Here are 5 to lock in before you land, what is included and how they differ.
Paddle Auckland’s dark coastal waters as bioluminescent plankton sparkle around your kayak under a star-filled sky.
“The bioluminescent plankton were amazing to see glowing at night along with the bright stars. The guides Paul and Millie were amazing and very knowledgeable!”
Paddle Auckland’s dark coast to see glowing plankton, learn kayaking, and enjoy a small-group night tour in Long Bay.
“Awesome experience with the bioluminescsnt water, great team and super easy to kayak, no need for skill.”
Paddle from Auckland to Rangitoto, enjoy a Kiwi BBQ, hike to the summit for sunset, and kayak back beneath city lights.
“Fantastic trip with guides Byron and Daniel!! We're split into 2 groups of 8 and I'm witg Byron. As a first time kayaker, it's little bit hard to get used to it in the very beginning. But Byron helped me master it! The view on the summit was really worth it, the BBQ is also nice. The backwards kayaking is against the waves (and also dark) so it's a little bit more challenging, but Byron helped us made it! Daniel offered a free drive for us to the CBD so we don't need to Uber at 11:30 pm. Really enjoyable and unique experience!”
Paddle from Auckland to volcanic Rangitoto Island, hike to its summit, enjoy a Kiwi BBQ, and return across Waitemata Harbor.
“This was a fantastic day, spectacular scenery from beginning to end. Really enjoyed the kayaking as well as the climb to the top of Rangitoto, the view was well worth the effort. Friendly guide who took good care of us. The only issue was the quality of the picnic lunch, which was not acceptable. I have been on other hiking/outdoor activities in New Zealand this trip, the picnic lunches have been delightful.”
Paddle from Auckland to Motukorea Island, hike an extinct volcano, and enjoy Hauraki Gulf views on a small-group sea kayak tour.
“Marco, our guide, was super friendly, knowledgeable, and well organized. He smoothly handled a participant showimg up late, who missed her kayak group, and ask our group if we minded taking a few extra minutes to get the newcomer set to kayak with us. Awesome service!! Definitely recommend!!”
Sorted by what you actually want to do that morning.
