customised and advanced kayak tours - Northland New Zealand

Specialised Sea Kayaking Trips

Advanced Paddling Expedition

10 days - $1500

Originally conceived as a Guide's Level Skills Course, this adventurous coastal voyage will travel along an area not paddled on our regular sea kayaking tours. Our energetic agenda will include kayak surfing and learning the safety techniques used when leading others through rock gardens and sea caves.   
We'll practice deep water re-entries in rough (but safe) conditions, and work on our bracing, sculling and "Eskimo" rolling skills. The white water elements of ocean kayaking will be sought after, not avoided! Many of the paddling and safety skills the well rounded ocean kayaker needs expertise in, will be covered during this ten day experience.


Beach Cottage Based Sea Kayaking Trips

5 days - $1300

These trips are scheduled on demand, and are available during our off season only (May - Nov). Leave the tents and camping gear behind....bring on the hot showers, beds and ice cold beverages while overnighting in oceanside accommodations.
