Seals, caves, dolphins, rugged coastline, golden sand beaches …they’re out there.

4 Days/3 Nights

Kayak: Onetahuti – Marahau

This is a trip where you get to sit back and really take your time.  As the only company specialising in kayak rentals, we provide a comprehensive safety briefing. This covers everything: from packing, kayak technique, weather and planning/modifying the journey, stowage and sea-conditions, map interpretation, to those important emergency procedures. After your safety briefing at our base we take you and your latest design kayak North to Onetahuti beach by water taxi. Using your new skills, and information of 'must see places' from our briefing, make your way south. Heading for Marahau over four wonderful days with the prevailing sea breeze at your back, it's leisurely paced but packed full of wonder.

Recommended campsites: Night 1 Onetahuti. Night 2 Bark Bay or Mosquito Bay. Night 3: Observation Beach or Te Pukatea Bay. Camp passes included in price which we book on your behalf.
