Coastal exploration

Paddling through unique Northland mangroves, passing under a mini Niagra Falls, crossing the path of shy penguins, or moving through the water with a pod of Dolphins in the Bay of Islands can all lend itself to a stunning and exhilarating kayak experience.

The world that a kayaking experience from Paihia opens the paddler to is fascinating - complex ecosystems that start with the salt sweating leaves of protected mangroves, roaring horseshoe shaped falls found in few places around the world, natural rock caves, and a Maori and European history specific to the area that makes the whole experience unforgettable. 144 different islands and thousands of destinations for a traveller who leaves the Twin Coast Discovery Highway to paddle their way around a jewel in the Northland crown - the Bay of Islands.
