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.
