Summer kayaking in Auckland, New Zealand

Summer has arrived in Auckland, New Zealand. After a slightly windier spring the wind has died off leaving us with some stunning days.

Today it’s a nice 26 degrees which is a perfect temperature for kayaking and getting out onto the harbour.

Auckland has a warm-temperate climate, with warm, humid summers and mild winters. It is the warmest main centre of New Zealand and is also one of the sunniest, with an average of 2060 sunshine hours per annum.

So if you live in Auckland or just visiting, a sea kayak trip on the Waitemata Harbour is the best way to enjoy the weather and what the city has to offer.

We hope to see you on the water in the near future,

Happy paddling,

Nic, Logan, Daniel and Chris

Browns island, Motukorea, Auckland New Zealand

Team New Zealand @emiratesteamnz training on the Hauraki Gulf yesterday. They tried to keep up with our kayaks but I think they had the wrong foils on 😂

Vote for Fish of the Year!

This year, we`re championing the Anchovy—did you know they`re the eco-warriors fighting climate change in the Hauraki Gulf and beyond? By gobbling carbon and helping regulate oceanic climates, anchovies are the carbon-crushing champions we didn`t know we needed. Saving the planet never looked so good!

Auckland Sea Kayaks is pleased to be supporting the annual Fish of the Year | Te Ika o Te Tau competition with our friends @emr_nz and @waihekemarineproject

Our fish for this year is the humble Anchovy - while small and nimble like a sea kayak, they play a crucial role in marine ecosystems by acting as a primary food source for larger marine-life and seabirds.
