A must do if you love the sea

Awesome experience with an excellent guide. We had a small group and thoroughly enjoyed. Great exercise too.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Hi, we appreciate the feedback and would love to paddle with you again one day soon.

Highly recommend!

Shannon_L, Jan 2024

This is a fabulous tour. Our tour guide. Unfortunately, we didn’t get his name, but he was a young guy and he really took care of us. They were for kayakers plus the guide on the trip. The water was beautiful and it wasn’t too strenuous to paddle out to the island. The island was super cool, and you could see a long ways off. The guide took care of everything and he gave some history of the island. Would highly recommend this to her and I would definitely take it again. I told my family all about it and I’m so glad we went.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Great to hear your recent tour to Motukorea was memorable. We always appreciate it when people take the time to leave a detailed review of their trip. Hope we can paddle with you again one day.
