Waitangi Day Kayak Tour to Rangitoto Island

Looking for an epic way to spend your Waitangi Day? Skip the usual routine and join us for an unforgettable Sunset Kayak Tour to Rangitoto Island. Paddle across the sparkling Waitematā Harbour to Auckland’s iconic volcano, while the sun sets behind the Waitākere Ranges, painting the sky in stunning colors.

After a quick paddling briefing you’ll glide through waters alive with wildlife—keep an eye out for Little Blue Penguins and Cook’s Petrels. Upon reaching Rangitoto Island, enjoy a one-hour trek to the summit, where 360-degree views await to reward your adventure.

When you return to the shore, a delicious Kiwi-style BBQ dinner will be ready to fuel your evening. Afterward, paddle back to the city under a canopy of stars, with the Auckland skyline twinkling in the distance. During the warmer months, you might even witness bioluminescence, adding a touch of natural magic to the night.
