Trip Itinerary
This tour covers the area between Kaiteriteri to the south and Split Apple Rock in the north. It is a relatively small area with lots of interesting nooks and crannies to explore. This makes it an ideal tour for the first timer and those who are looking for ultra cruisy kayaking! The trip starts at 8:30am with a safety briefing, with full instruction to make kayaking as simple as possible - even for first timers.
Tides play a big part in the tour itinerary. As these change with each day then so does our tour. We do however aim to get up to Split Apple Rock at around 11am. After a break for swimming, relaxing or exploring the beach we set off for Ngiao Island on the homeward journey. Back to Kaiteriteri at 11:45am.
Please note: This itinerary is an outline only. The 12noon trip returns approximately 3:30pm. Your guide may decide to vary this program based on their judgement of weather and sea conditions and client ability/fitness levels.
