Kayak out to Rangitoto Island and climb to the top of Auckland?s dominant volcano. The views of Auckland City and the Hauraki Gulf from the summit are outstanding. This is Auckland's classic kayak trip!

Description

St Heliers Beach (about 10 minutes from the city centre) is where you will meet your guide for your briefing and instruction. You'll be outfitted with a paddle jacket (wind and waterproof), aqua shoes, sprayskirt and buoyancy vest.

The double kayaks you will use are stable and easy to paddle. We head away from the beach around 10.00am and paddle across to Rangitoto Island, a distance of around 5 kilometres, which takes about 1.25 hours at an easy pace.

You enjoy a lovely morning tea on arrival at the island before the scenic hour long climb to the summit and lunch (BYO).

You explore some lava caves on the return walk before heading back to St Heliers Beach.

The distance is fine for novice kayakers and we maintain the highest safety standards possible.
