Great trip out, amazing views back to the city
We had an awesome morning. The two guides were excellent and really friendly. The kayaks were great, really new and well maintained too. We felt we were in good hands throughout and great to learn more about the islands too. 100% recommended.

A superb day
A good length trip that didn't require high expertise. Good equipment, friendly and helpful guide. An opportunity to see an interesting part of Auckland that isn't otherwise accessible
