Highly recommended, fun experience. - Really fun experience. No kayaking experience necessary, as it was a nice easy paddle around the harbor. Great to see the lights of the city from a different angle. Our guide Bennet was helpful, knowledgeable, and funny. Highly Recommend.

City lights kayak tour - We went on our kayak tour with Ben. He was very diligent with safety and what to expect in the water. He had us practice at first to become acquainted with the boat and the marina environment. His attention to detail and upbeat attitude made for a pleasant and enjoyable experience. He provided a tea snack halfway through the tour, which provided a nice respite and pick me up for the trip back. He was constantly keeping an eye on the surroundings to make sure we were safe while paddling in the marina and channel. We would recommend this tour for anyone that wants a fun, enjoyable, kayak experience in Auckland.

Family fun kayaking under the stars. - Our family had an amazing time kayaking around the Auckland Harbour, enjoying the city lights. Daniel, our guide, was friendly and very knowledgeable showing us how to kayak safely and efficiently before heading into the water. Daniel shared lots of local knowledge about wildlife and attractions throughout our kayak. At about the half way point, we stopped for some delicious brownies and a hot cup of peppermint tea. Not only did my husband and myself throughly enjoy this tour, my two teenage children said it's one of the best things they had done in our time in NZ. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see a different perspective of the Auckland City.

Surreal experience - Rating our whole experience to 4 stars as our tour guide was 20 minutes late due to traffic. But the actual kayaking experience was amazing! Love seeing the city in the night time! Thanks to Daniel for being great and for baking those tasty brownies!
