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.

Beautiful experience
Even with the rain, the experience was amazing! The entire crew was super excited and making sure we were all ok! Loved it! I’d definitely recommend it

Easy and fun
Francois was our guide who led the group safely and efficiently to the lagoon inside the island. Being a repeat customer, I recommend Surfsup for making recreational kayaking not only memorable (tipping over was possible!) but also insightful (Maori culture).
