Keen adventurers will absolutely love this magical kayaking tour!

At the peak, you'll be rewarded with panoramic views of Auckland city, the inner harbour and islands of the Hauraki Gulf, as well as the vibrant sunset. Jump back on the kayak for the paddle back to Auckland, with the twinkling lights of the city in the distance and the starry night sky to guide you home. A truly serene way to top off your adventure.
