February 2013 |
Sea Kayak Bay of Islands. New Zealand. |
| Monday 04 February 2013 to Friday 08 February 2013 (Northland) |
Learn the art of sea kayaking while absorbing the breathtaking beauty the Bay of Islands offers. Tranquil and isolated beaches, superb coastal scenery and fascinating Maori archaeology await you. This is the cradle of European settlement in New Zealand and a focal point for Maori as it was here that the Treaty of Waitangi was signed. What sets it apart also is the ease with which you can get out among the islands. You will stay on Urupukapuka Island and explore Motuarohia, Motukiekie,
Okahu, Waewaetorea and Moturua. The latter offers a network of walks through bush alive with spotted kiwi, saddlebacks and North Island robins. All islands have protected beaches on one side and dramatic rock formation with sea caves, arches and narrow passageways on
the ocean side. Paddling times between islands range from 15 to 45 minutes. We have an experienced local woman guide leading this trip.
