Browns Island Motukorea zeekajaktocht
Beschrijving
Ontdek de rijke geschiedenis van Browns Island in de buurt van Auckland. Paarden werden door de vroege kolonisten door de haven gezwommen, terwijl Māori eeuwen geleden bloeide met landbouw en visserij, waarbij ze overblijfselen van pā-sites achterlieten. Nog intrigerender is dat er overblijfselen van de Sydney-modderkokkel werden gevonden in vulkanische granaatbedden. In 1909 nam de luchtvaartgeschiedenis van Nieuw-Zeeland een vlucht toen Alex en Claude Barnard vanaf de top van het eiland een zelfgemaakte vliegmachine lanceerden, ter gelegenheid van de eerste vliegtuigproeven van het land. Browns Island is een vulkanische kegel van een uitbarsting 25.000 jaar geleden, onderdeel van het actieve vulkanische veld van Auckland. Het is nu onbewoond en is een recreatiereservaat dat is omgebouwd tot natuurreservaat, de thuisbasis van inheemse vogels zoals tūī, pūkeko, zilveroog, maar ook unieke dieren in het wild, zoals skinks en gekko's. Voor studenten en onderzoekers biedt Browns Island educatieve mogelijkheden op het gebied van vulkanologie, geologie en milieubehoud, waardoor het een ideale bestemming voor veldonderzoek is.

A great way to explore an island with paddling and an informative walk built in . 2 great guides in Millie and Legend - lots of enthusiasm and great local knowledge.
Thank you for the awesome feedback! We’re so glad you loved the mix of kayaking and exploring Motukorea on foot; it’s one of our favourite ways to experience the island. Millie and Legend will be stoked to hear your kind words about their enthusiasm and local knowledge. Hope to see you back on the water again soon!
And it was lots of fun. Legend was a great guide, with great knowledge about the harbour and islands. Highly recommend to anyone even those who have minimal experience.
Love this — thank you! We’re so glad you had such a fun day out and felt confident on the water. Legend will be stoked to hear your kind words, and we really appreciate the recommendation.
Had an amazing trip across to Browns Island. We explored the island. The guide Legend was a wealth of knowledge. The weather was superb. We had a couple of people not so confident of the water and he took great care of them. Would highly recommend this tour.
Hey there, amazing review for an amazing sea kayak tour to Browns island. Thanks for choosing Social Nature Movement
“I had an amazing time on the Browns Island kayak tour! The spot was beautiful and provided a perfect balance of exercise and relaxation. Kayaking to the island, walking and stopping for photo ops, and swimming in the clear waters made for a memorable experience. It was so nice to be surrounded by nature while learning about the history of this Auckland gem. The team was professional and made the experience even better. I’m truly grateful for such a lovely day outdoors!”

We did not make it to the Browns Island as plan. We were novice and inexperience with the kayak that were used. The tour is probably more suitable for people with some kayaking experience in the sea but the tour guide Chris was friendly and helpful.
Thanks for your review Niem and sorry it was too difficult to get to the island
It was an amazing experience! Ben was an excellent guide, felt safe the whole trip! Funny and relaxed guy. Recommend that trip! Easy hike to the top!
Thanks for the review
Browns Island with SNM is highly recommended by us. We scootered to them along the waterfront. They provided drinks and food and took care of the whole trip so seemlessly. Thanks thanks thanks
Cheers and welcome back anytime
We had a very fun time with Chris on our kayaking adventure. Beautiful day on the water and the Browns Island was so interesting and of course great views. Chris was a trooper since we were dealing with some sea sickness and he helped us deal with that kindly. Great tour and I would highly recommend it - try and get Chris he was great!
Stoked you had a great time to Browns Island :-)
Browns Island was a great kayak tour with a fabulous company. The guide David was knowledgeable and we felt safe. Really cool being in a big city and having this island to ourselves that day
Great!
Both my friend and I were in awe of our instructors wealth of knowledge of the area and the story behind it, would highly recommend this experience to anyone considering the Kay’s king experience
