Ben took us on an amazing kayak tour! The instructions were very clear. I was a beginner when the tour started and he made sure to check on everyone and make sure we were keeping pace. But when we weren't, he helped us along. I was already tired by the end of the trip there so the dinner was very satisfying and there was plenty. The walk up the mountain was a brisk hike with a gorgeous sunset. And then after all of that exercise and beauty, the walk back down and the prep for the trip back. Kayaking out on the calm bay waters at night was so lovely. We could see more stars than in the city and the city skyline lit up. The need to focus on paddling made me forget all about my fear of what lurks in the water. I do recommend you follow instructions as far as items to bring along. You will want at least what is stated. I used swim bottoms for the kayaking part and that was a good decision. I recommend bringing a 2nd shirt as my top got quite wet as well despite all the gear. But I made it work with what I'd brought and had a very fun time.

We had a great time kayaking to Rangitoto island. The conditions were beautiful and we had an excellent sunset from the summit viewpoint. Ben was a great guide and looked after the group, cooking us a tasty dinner. Would highly recommend for a beautiful and peaceful evening on the water, overlooking Auckland. Recommend spare dry clothes for the hike!

Great adventure with Ben! Would absolutely recommend. They had all the equipment that you need. I might recommend to have two spare bottoms and tops to change into, if you like to go home dry as well.

The trip was beautiful and ran really smoothly. Ben looked after us with confidence and humour and a lovely lunch to boot! Great way to spend a day

The tour was amazing, very well organized, the instructors were very friendly, the food was good and the hike was gorgeous.

The guided tour is well worth the money. Nick was super as a guide, far beyond the call of duty, great dinner, great experience. Highly recommend doing this, night kayak back was really lovely!

This was such an incredible experience! I went on this excursion with some classmates and was very nervous about my kayaking abilities. I shared a kayak with our tour guide, Daniel, and he was AMAZING. He has a true passion for teaching others and he was so supportive - Not to mention that he cooked us a great steak dinner! He helped all of us learn to kayak and hike up the Summit walk! I was really impressed by Daniel's knowledge and skill. This was such a cool chance to sight see and push myself!

Thanks to Daniel our amazing guide for an unforgettable experience. I was partnered with another lady, and we were struggling to keep up with the pack. Daniel was very attentive, noticed I was struggling and gave us a tow. Once on the island we had a BBQ before hiking to the Summit to see the sunset. Kayaking back to Auckland at night was spectacular! I wish I had pictures from the kayak.:-( Thanks for an amazing trip. I will be back with my husband in November!

Beautiful! The sunset kayak + hike to Rangitoto was a gorgeous experience. Our guide Daniel made sure everything was seamless, safe, and a great trip overall. Would highly recommend for any active people / couples / families looking for some adventure and great views!

We had so much fun on the sunset tour to Rangitoto. Daniel was very helpful, supportive and knowledgeable. He was very passionate about Rangitoto and we felt we learnt a lot with him as our guide. Would highly recommend this experience for anyone who wants to see what Auckland has to offer.

Dan looked after us from to pick up to drop off. Absolutely amazing tour and being to only people at the summit sunset was breathtaking. Thanks Dan !

This Tour has been my most fun Tour in Auckland. Our guide Daniel was amazing and brought all the required expertise, knowledge and fun to our Trip. It was a beautiful paddle to the the Island where we had a BBQ before hiking to the summit for the sunset. We had a beautiful sunset and a beautiful paddle back in the dark with City lights, stars and some bioluminescence in the water. An experience you cant describe in words or pictures. This Tour is also a great chance to experience rangitoto without masses of other people. Totally recommond booking this if you're fit enough to paddle for an hour there and an hour back. Thanks Daniel for the great Trip!

Awesome experience! Daniel our guide was fantastic! Very knowledgeable, helpful and reassuring. Told us everything we needed to know about paddling and safety before we set out, shared lots of interesting info on the walk to the summit of Rangitoto and cooked a fabulous lunch as well. Great support on the paddle home, offering extra technique tips and ongoing encouragement. Thoroughly recommend and definitely hope to do it again.

Wonderful tour all round! Daniel led us on our epic cross-bay kayak/hiking adventure and did a great job educating us along the way. It was an incredible experience and the paddle back across the water in the dark, with clouds parting and stars shining through was magical. Highly recommend this tour and huge thanks to Daniel for going the extra mile.

Booking this trip was easy, with really good communication from the outset. My questions always answered by close of play that day Meeting Chloe at the museum was very straightforward. Such a friendly tour guide, the group were safe at all times. With a nice BBQ after the walk. Thanks Chloe for a lovely day
