OFFICE: Whenuakura - Donut - Island Kayak Tour — Local services in North Island

We were profoundly impressed by the scenic beauty, especially the mesmerizing experience as we entered the "tunnel" and reached the heart of the "donut." The Kawakawa tea, thoughtfully prepared by Jim, was a delightful addition to the experience.

However, what truly set this experience apart was the invaluable assistance provided by our guides, Jim and Elliott. They enriched our journey with extensive information about the islands, guided us expertly, prepared refreshments, took memorable photos, and even gave us tow assistance!

My mother, who is over 70 years old, and I shared one kayak, while my wife and daughter were in another. Both Jim and Elliott provided tow assistance, significantly easing our journey. On our return to the departure point, my mother and I unfortunately fell over/capsized due to the waves and our lack of experience. Jim promptly came to our rescue, efficiently pulling my mother out of the water, a job not easily accomplished with an elderly person in the ocean. His swift action was truly lifesaving.

We are equally grateful for Elliott's assistance to my wife and daughter. Facing strong winds and waves, they struggled to paddle back. Elliott, after ensuring the safety of the other tour members and coordinating with Jim, towed them back to shore. Their kayak also fell over near the shore, but thanks to Elliott's help and the shallow water, the situation was managed more easily than ours.

Despite the unexpected challenges, thanks to the full support and guidance from Jim and Elliott, we were able to safely enjoy the beautiful islands and have a truly unique experience. We are profoundly grateful to Jim and Elliott for their kindness and professionalism.

I rented a few kayaks from them (they also offer a guided tour for those who prefer), and the price for a 2-hour rental was excellent – more than enough time to enjoy the island. The staff is very friendly and helpful, always making sure visitors only go when the weather is good and safe. The paddle to the island takes about 15 to 20 minutes, depending on your fitness level. The experience was amazing, the island is absolutely beautiful, and it’s worth the effort....

My wife and I went on one of the kayak tours on our honeymoon and had a brilliant time. The guided tour exceeded our expectations. Yes, the island itself is spectacular, but Moro's impressive knowledge, the company's respect for the mana of the place, the thoughtful touches, and the fun riding the waves and navigating the rocks (optional!) really made this a...
