Experience the magic of Whenuakura (Donut) Island as you paddle through the entrance and into the stunning turquoise lagoon!
Join our experienced guides on a kayaking adventure that will take you into the stunning Whenuakura Island or Donut Island.
After a safety briefing, you will paddle from the beach approximately 30 minutes to a cave-like entrance that opens up into a beautiful lagoon surrounded by native fauna in the centre of the island.
Enjoy the views of unspoiled nature from your kayak as the island is a Wild Life Sanctuary that is off-limits to people landing on it.
We then head towards Hauturu Island to enjoy a cup of Kawakawa tea and visit some more locations of interest before heading back to shore. Your guide will be on hand to share their local knowledge and ensure the safety of all participants.

Hi there! Thank you so much for reviewing us. We appreciate your time and support. Kind regards, Surfsup team
This was an unforgettable kayaking experience, and our two instructors were incredibly friendly and patient. Since it was our first time kayaking, we weren't fully prepared; at the scheduled start time, our attire was not suitable for the sea. However, with the help of the instructors, we were able to borrow the right swimwear, and they patiently waited and assisted us. Once we were out on the water, the instructors demonstrated great skill, calmly handling unexpected situations. We enjoyed tea on the beach and even explored ancient caves. Thank you both so much!
Amazing experience
We loved our experience and would definitely recommend the guided tour. The guided tour is great for more information and help with sea kayaking! Molly was great and the relaxed vibe let us enjoy the experience even more. Also, the addition of the tea was great to enjoy midway.
