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.

From Whenuakura Island Deluxe Guided Kayak Tour - Surfsup Whangamata
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

Amazing
Really enjoyed doing this kayaking with Miss 13 - Dylan our tour guide was so personable and knew a lot about the surrounding islands while being super respectful of our culture

Donut Island kayak guided trip
We booked this trip as we had never done it before. Dillon did an awesome job as our guide and Hannah did a great job of our safety briefing. The conditions in the day were sublime and we thoroughly enjoyed our trip. We will definitely book again and recommend it. P

My friend and I were the only ones on the trip. A perfect day. Moro guide and owner was great, lots of local knowledge, chatty, kind, helpful. Would highly recommend!

Great Tour, absolute recommendation!
The Tour was a wonderful experience! We were only 5 people, had a really good guide who told us very interesting things about the Maori Background of the Island and was aware of everybodys needs and safety in a very friendly and unobtrusive way. My first time in a Kajak but definitely not my last, but I think people with Kajaking experience will also enjoy the Tour into the Island! Would always do it again!

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 .
