Excursion Kayaking to haruru falls tour at Waitangi (Bay Of Islands)

Experience the pristine natural beauty of the Bay of Islands during this scenic kayaking excursion amidst the calm waters of the Waitangi Estuary.

Waitangi Estuary Kayaking

After tendering ashore, meet your kayaking guide and walk across the Waitangi Bridge to the Coastal Kayakers base. Following your safety and kayaking instructions, board your two-passenger kayak and commence your guided kayaking excursion in the beautiful Waitangi Estuary.

Mangrove Trees

Along the way, pass by an abundance of mangrove trees. The lifeblood of the estuary, this unique tree features an extensive root system protruding out from under the water and is a favourite breeding-ground for many small fish.

Haruru Falls

At the end of the Waitangi Estuary is Haruru Falls, which are surrounded on one side by the beautiful Waitangi Forest. Although not especially high, the Haruru Falls are a spectacular sight nonetheless, especially after any recent rainfall. After a stop for light refreshments, commence the return transfer back to the wharf.

Upon arrival, walk back across the Waitangi Bridge and tender back to the ship.
