Awesome tour, great company

The half day tour was more than worth it! Kayaking to and from Rangitoto was an experience in itself. Also, the guide was kind enough to give me a lift back to my hostel in Auckland! 5/5 PS: be sure to check the weather forecast, and put on lots of sunscreen!

Simply the best experience ever!

Definitely something to put on the bucket list and repeat over and over again. It's amazing seeing Auckland from a slightly different vantage point. The tour was amazing. The tour guide was even better!!

Rangitoto kayak trip

Our family of four adults had an excellent time. The booking was easy and accommodating. The pickup was smooth. The instruction was adequate without being time consuming. Then the trip itself was friendly, beautiful, with delicious food and convivial company. We were not used to kayaking for extended time but seemed to be no worse for the wear the next day. We would definitely recommend to active friends.
