About this activity

Set out across the Hauraki Gulf on an evening sea kayak journey to Tiritiri Matangi Island — a living sanctuary where wildlife thrives and the ocean meets the stars.

Paddle through calm summer waters as the sun begins its slow descent, painting the sky in shades of gold and crimson.

Upon arrival, enjoy a luxury sunset grazing platter in a secluded coastal setting, complete with sweeping views of the Gulf.

As twilight deepens, witness little blue penguins waddling home from the sea. The adventure continues with a guided nocturnal walk, revealing rare creatures like Tuatara and

Kiwi. End your night paddling back with bioluminescent plankton shimmering beneath you and the Milky Way above.
