We had planned on the sunset Rangotito trip but unusually high winds made it unsafe. The owner who was also our guide wisely advised against it. He was very accommodating about whether we wanted to kayak in a more sheltered spot or not go at all or something else. We ended up kayaking some and then using a small sail... More

I'm a little late in submitting this review, but still have fond memories of the excellent trip to Browns Island/Motukorea in late March. Although I'm an avid kayaker in the States, the others in the group I joined up with hadn't kayaked before and Nick did a great job of instructing them. Everyone had a fabulous time. I also appreciated... More

As expressed on Facebook......I have to say that with all the awesome adventures I have been doing this year I am thankful that I not only get to meet some wicked Kiwi's and Foreigners but the people that run these events are soo passionate about what they do and they inspire me everyday. It's those simple touches that just make... More

What a great day kayaking to the island Rangitoto with Auckland Sea Kayaks on Sunday the 29th of April. All equipment provided including thermals, waterproof jacket and shoes. The double kayaks were easy to use and in good condition. The Instructor Nic briefed the group and made it all sound very easy and an adventure for the group to enjoy.... More

Absolutely marvellous day kayaking to Browns Island/Motukorea with Auckland Sea Kayaks. Couldn't have had a more helpful or more professional guide than Nic. Never having kayaked before and being middle-aged and rather unfit I really wondered if I was doing the right thing. However it is one of the best days I have ever had. Easy parking at St Heliers...

If there is one thing I would do again in Auckland it would be the kayak tour with 'Auckland Sea Kayaks'. Relaxing, beautiful and plenty of history. Few hours on a kayak with a friendly guide Nicholas, a tea or coffee with a muffin as a break on the beach, then a lunch on the Brown Island!!! You just sit... More

The night-time tour out to Rangitoto Island was an awesome experience and an excellent way to start a weekend. It wasn't too physically demanding and the scenery the whole way was great, including an incredible view of the sun setting and Auckland City. The trip was well organised, with friendly staff and great food. Our guide Nick knew the Gulf... More

I really like tours that have many different aspects. Kayaking Auckland harbor is one of those things. Beautiful views, good excercise, good climb up Brown Island for some stunning views. Kayaks were great and easy to handle. Staff was good, plenty of history, made the trip a lot of fun.
