Must-Do in New Zealand

Must-Do in New Zealand: AA travel magazine 

Auckland Sea Kayaks has been featured as one of the Must-Do in New Zealand. 

101 Must-Do AA Travel

“Kayaking at night feels daringly intrepid – as if we’re secret agents on a covert mission. For the next hour we paddle towards the city;s twinkling lights under a sky pinpricked with stars. It’s my favorite part of the trip. The only sound is the rhythmic splash of the paddles in the water. No one speaks, not even my sister.” 

The above is an extract from the article written by Rob McFarland on the Sunset tour to Rangitoto that he did with his sister.  It was published in the AA travel magazine in the 101 Must-Do New Zealand section.

These students are working towards their Duke of Edinburgh's Hillary Award  and spent their school holidays on an adventurous journey through the stunning Mahurangi Region with Auckland Sea Kayaks. They enjoyed glassy sunsets, forged lasting friendships on the water, and gained invaluable outdoor skills. A journey to remember! @dukeofednz

🌊 Te Wiki o te Reo Māori: Celebrating Place Names in Tāmaki Makaurau 🌿

Throughout the week, we’re uncovering the stories of place names that are significant to both our journeys and our connection to Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland).

Today, we explore the Hauraki Gulf / Tīkapa Moana Marine Park.
Hauraki translates to "north wind" – a name that reflects how the gulf is only exposed to open sea from the north. Hau means wind, and raki means north. 🌬️

According to Māori legend, Ureia, a taniwha in the form of a whale, protects these waters. 🐋

Let’s embrace the rich history of these beautiful places together! #TeWikiOTeReoMāori #TīkapaMoana #HaurakiGulf #AucklandSeaKayaks
