From the water you’ll glide past Westhaven Marina, home to hundreds of yachts and superyachts, while taking in views of the Sky Tower, Harbour Bridge, and the city skyline. Depending on the day’s events, your guide may lead you around the Viaduct Basin or towards North Wharf, giving you a unique look at Auckland’s working harbour and lively waterfront precinct.

Along the way, your guide will share stories about the city’s maritime heritage and modern waterfront culture. The pace is relaxed, making it perfect for first-time paddlers and anyone wanting to experience Auckland from a fresh perspective.

By the end, you’ll have seen Auckland from an angle few ever do — right on the water, in the middle of the city.
