  • Designed for travellers & Kiwis who seek a kayaking adventure with an exciting waterfall!
  • An epic and memorable adventure for all!
  • Safety boat on hand
  • Suitable for all ages!

Our boat takes you to the best locations & makes kayaking easy!

We cruise for around 30 minutes along our local island coastline & 3km up a meandering river that in days gone by sailing ships loaded Kauri logs. Guests transfer to kayaks to explore up close, paddle through mangrove forests or photograph seabirds feeding their nesting babies in trees hanging over the river. Our final destination is where a waterfall drops into the sea & if you dare, paddle up to or under the waterfall.

This option is great for beginner levels or anyone looking to have more time to explore the local bird colonies, mangrove forests and waterfalls.

No prior kayaking experience is required, although we are mindful that not everyone in your family may be confident to kayak. Our Safety vessel is comfortable, always in calm waters & is on hand if anyone needs a rest…
