Join our experienced guides on a kayaking adventure that will take you into the stunning Whenuakura Island or Donut Island.
After a safety briefing, you will paddle from the beach approximately 30 minutes to a cave-like entrance that opens up into a beautiful lagoon surrounded by native fauna in the centre of the island.
Enjoy the views of unspoiled nature from your kayak as the island is a Wild Life Sanctuary that is off-limits to people landing on it.
We then head towards Hauturu Island to enjoy a cup of Kawakawa tea and visit some more locations of interest before heading back to shore. Your guide will be on hand to share their local knowledge and ensure the safety of all participants.

Great Tour, absolute recommendation!
The Tour was a wonderful experience! We were only 5 people, had a really good guide who told us very interesting things about the Maori Background of the Island and was aware of everybodys needs and safety in a very friendly and unobtrusive way. My first time in a Kajak but definitely not my last, but I think people with Kajaking experience will also enjoy the Tour into the Island! Would always do it again!

Donut Island kayak guided trip
We booked this trip as we had never done it before. Dillon did an awesome job as our guide and Hannah did a great job of our safety briefing. The conditions in the day were sublime and we thoroughly enjoyed our trip. We will definitely book again and recommend it. P
