Sea Kayak to Great Barrier Island
Sea Kayak to Great Barrier Island
NOW available 5 day Wilderness Sea Kayak Tours
Kayaking to Great Barrier Island had been a dream of mine for 5 weeks. A few key elements had to be lined up in order for this solo sea kayak trip to work
- Needed to be 15 knots of South-West wind
- Had to be a Tuesday to fit in with the Great Barrier Port Fitzroy Ferry
- Needed to get to the ferry by 17.30
- Being fit was a requirement
- Had to stay the night at launch location
Solo kayaking for a long distance is something I was not use to and was a little scared of my own company. Turned out to be very enjoyable.

- Kayaked a distance of 38 nautical miles (70km)
- Started at Sandspit and finished at Port Fitzroy, Great Barrier
