Motukorea / Browns Island Zeekajaktocht
Beschrijving
Dit is de perfecte reis voor iedereen die een ontspannen dag wil in de Golf van Hauraki. Geen eerdere kajakervaring nodig. Browns Island, genaamd Motukorea (eiland van de bonte scholekstervogel) is een van de best bewaarde vulkanen in het vulkanische veld van Auckland. Privéboten en kajaks zijn de enige manieren om toegang te krijgen tot dit ongerepte eiland. Bij aankomst op Browns Island krijgt u de kans om naar de top te lopen, waardoor u de kans krijgt om een spectaculair uitzicht en de fascinerende geschiedenis van het eiland te ervaren. Er zijn drie pa-locaties op het eiland (het Maori-versterkte dorp), waarbij de grootste op de hellingen van de belangrijkste scorakegel rust. Lichte versnaperingen worden op het eiland aangeboden voordat u terugkeert naar de beschutte wateren van waaruit u bent begonnen. GRATIS Auckland City Centre ophalen en wegbrengen beschikbaar op aanvraag.

Dit moet worden aangevraagd op uw boekingsformulier bij het online boeken. We pikken op met ons minibusje van buiten het Atrium naast de stoelen. Pick-up vindt plaats 30 minuten voor de starttijd van de reis, dus als uw reis om 8:30 uur begint, wordt u om 8:00 uur opgehaald. Het Auckland War Memorial Museum, Tāmaki Paenga Hira, is een van de belangrijkste musea en oorlogsmonumenten van Nieuw-Zeeland. De collecties concentreren zich op de geschiedenis van Nieuw-Zeeland, natuurlijke historie en militaire geschiedenis. De taonga (schatten) uit Māori, de volkeren van Oceanië en Nieuw-Zeeland, en onze natuurlijke wereld wachten om ontdekt te worden over drie verdiepingen van prachtige galerijen. Een geweldige plek om te leren en te verkennen voordat u eropuit trekt, of na het peddelen met ons.

I booked a private twilight kayaking tour to Motukorea to enjoy with friends on my birthday, and it was phenomenal all around. First, the upfront communication from Auckland Sea Kayaks was fantastic and informative. They also worked to accommodate our group's dietary needs, which was appreciated. Second, our tour guide, Dan, was so knowledgeable and fun! We were all well-equipped and briefed for the adventure ahead. Dan kept us on schedule without feeling rushed, and we managed to see the start of sunset from the peak on the island and then experience the full show from the water in our kayaks. I would absolutely book another adventure with Auckland Sea Kayaks in the future!
We were the only two people on this kayak journey to Brown’s Island. We had a beautiful sunny day for the experience. Our guide, Kaitlyn, was experienced and passionate about kayaking. After paddling about an hour, we arrived at the island and snacked on brownies and coffee. Water was not provided (although I believe it was said to be included in the trip summary) - bring your own! After our snack we hiked to the top of the volcano and around it - we saw some great views, and Kaitlyn identified points of interest. Right after the hike we kayaked back to the put in. Kaitlyn drove us back to the museum, where she had picked us up - she kindly offered to drop us off at a different spot. (We elected to stay at the museum, however - we enjoyed many wonderful exhibits there.) My only suggestion would be for the company to state the pick-up point in the email sent the day before the trip.
Thanks a lot for the lengthy feedback. Glad you enjoyed your kayaking experience with Caitlin along with the snacks and volcanic views. We do normally provide water on our tours, so we apologise it was forgotten that day. we hope you had a wonderful rest of your stay in Aotearoa, New Zealand. All the best.
This trip was the culmination of a two year project to visit all the Auckland volcanos and I think I saved the best for last. Ruby, our guide, was delightful and ensured our safety at all times. As a novice sea kayaker I found this very reassuring. The kayaking experience was as enjoyable as the time on the island itself.
Love this review. Congrats on ticking off all the Auckland maunga. Very impressive and you should be proud. Thanks for choosing Auckland Sea Kayaks to help get you there.
I highly recommend you try kayaking with this company. They provided excellent gear and the trip to browns island was absolutely amazing. It was the perfect amount of paddling without being completely exhausting. The hike can be steep but it’s a very short hike and it’s worth it because of the view at the summit,
Everything was perfect. My sister and I had an amazing experience from the kayaking, snack, and hike around browns island.
Glad you both had an amazing experience!
Equipment was in good shape, our guide Ellie was knowledgeable and fun, the views were fantastic, and the snacks were yummy. It was an hour long kayak trip each way, and a good walk up to the top of the island. Great trip for a fit family!
Glad you enjoyed your tour with Elle. We agree she's an awesome guide! Thanks for choosing Auckland Sea Kayaks.
We had an amazing time. The views were stunning, excellent kayaking experience. They supplied everything and it was wonderful that they can pick you up. Very friendly staff.
Our tour guide is Elle. A french girl. She is a very nice person. We feel nervous at the beginning as this is our first time doing kayaking. She provided extensive information about safety before we start which is helpful. We recommend this to anyone want to challenge yourself. Unforgettable experience.
I went on the Motukorea Island kayak tour with Ben. It was awesome. Scenery was spectacular. I would highly recommend this experience.
My husband, sister, and I needed a half day activity to do before embarking on our ship in the evening. We are so glad that we chose this company and activity! Ben was great and very knowledgeable about the Islands and the wonderful history. He was very kind, patient, and answered all of our questions! This activity is not for the weak, the hike up to the summit is very steep and is pretty strenuous. But the views are breathtaking!
