Experience the magic of Whenuakura (Donut) Island as you paddle through the entrance and into the stunning turquoise lagoon!
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.

Hi there! Thank you so much for reviewing us. We appreciate your time and support. Kind regards, Surfsup team
Professional from start to finish. Safety briefing & basic paddle skills tutorial, then into the sea. 1 couple in our group couldn't kayak well, so the leader tied them to him for some of the important "straight" bits. The island was beautiful & not very busy- even managed to swim in there. Not allowed to land, but great time. Some hard paddling due to wind, but very enjoyable. Would definitely recommend.
We were running a little bit late, but that wasn’t a problem for the crew of the surf up. Our guide was super helpful and the whole trip was really nice.
