Experience the freedom of exploring the Coromandel at your own pace. Option to embark on an unforgettable kayak journey to the famous Cathedral Cove!
Departing from Flaxmill Bay or the Purangi Reserve on kayak you will have the time to set your own course and pace, making it an ideal choice for anyone wanting to explore independently.
The double kayak hire option is the perfect way to share the experience with a friend, giving you plenty of time to relax and cruise the calm waters at your own pace.
Let the team from Coromandel Paddle Boarding give you the inside knowledge on where to go and what there is to see. A fun outdoors activity, and memorable way to discover the picturesque beauty of the Coromandel.
No experience is necessary for the 2 hour rental - you'll be given a quick safety briefing and tutorial before you take off.
Looking for something truly unique?
Take a paddle toward one of New Zealand's most mesmerising beaches - Cathedral Cove!
To have ample time time to get there at a comfortable pace you'll require a minimum of 4 hours of rental time, only available at the early morning slot. It is roughly 1.5 hour each way paddling to Cathedral Cove - kayak experience and good level of fitness is needed.
This way you have plenty of opportunity to explore, take breaks, and enjoy the serenity of the Coromandel.
Cathedral Cove is the Coromandel's Must-See atraction!
Looking for even more aquatic fun?
It’s on you to make it a good or a bad experience, you do need to make some physical effort over there. We found it challenging in a cloudy and windy day. However, it was lots of fun for us. Nothing to add about the company, simple and efficient logistics. The guy was in contact with us to just check we were ok.
Great service!!
Beautiful place to go kayaking, all the gear was provided and very kind attention. I suggest to have some kayak experience before as is not a short way. Thank you very much
Don’t book through this guy he sent us out in dangerous conditions. The actual Cathedral Cove kayaks were not running and he still sent us out. We didn’t even get half way to Cathedral Cove and then around and came back because it was too dangerous.
