Kayak trip

Friendly informative guides. Kayaked out to the doughnut Island . Unfortunately got to see very little inside the sanctuary as we were told to spin our canoe before we had even reached the middle and could only really see the roof of the cave .

From Whenuakura - Donut - Island Guided Kayaking Experience

Hi there! During certain moments and conditions, paddling all the way to the middle of the lagoon can be a challenge due to low tide and waves. As the tunnel is the deepest part of the island, we at times keep customers there to avoid being pushed against rocks. Thanks for joining us! SurfSup team

Loads of fun, great guide

We had a great time, heading into caves we would not have tackled without an expert guiding and keeping us safe. Our guide managed to make us feel safe as we tackled some interestingly large waves. He rerouted so that we reversed the normal trip, allowing us to use the shelter of the island to make the waves smaller as we headed into wind.

Great experience

Booked 4 people onto this experience. Staff friendly, maybe a bit too laid back! Equipment in good order, I'm not sure on the deluxe part, but had a good time kayaking to Donut Island, not much to do at the stop part and got a little cold waiting to set off again back to starting point. Intermediate fitness required for this, especially against the wind.
