Experience Auckland's award-winning Sunset Sea Kayak Tour to Rangitoto Island, New Zealand's youngest volcano. Paddle across the Waitematā Harbour with qualified local guides while enjoying spectacular views of Auckland's skyline and the Hauraki Gulf Marine Park.
After landing on Rangitoto Island, join your guide for a walk to the summit, where you'll discover the island's fascinating volcanic landscape and enjoy panoramic 360° views across Auckland and the Hauraki Gulf. Time your arrival to watch the sun set before returning to the shoreline for a freshly prepared Kiwi BBQ dinner.
As darkness falls, paddle back across the Waitematā Harbour beneath the stars, with Auckland's illuminated skyline providing a spectacular backdrop. This unique return journey offers a completely different perspective of the city and is one of Auckland's most memorable outdoor experiences.
No previous kayaking experience is required. Before departing, your qualified guide will provide a comprehensive safety briefing and paddling instruction, making the tour suitable for both first-time and experienced kayakers. The experience includes a guided sea kayak tour, a guided walk to the Rangitoto summit, all kayaking and safety equipment, a freshly prepared Kiwi BBQ dinner, hot drinks, and return paddling under the night sky, with views of the city lights.
Participants should have a moderate level of fitness and be comfortable paddling for up to 1.5 hours at a time, along with completing an approximately 7 km return walk over uneven volcanic terrain. Scheduled departures are available for guests aged 14 years and over and operate subject to suitable weather conditions.
