Do I need kayaking and/or fishing experience to enjoy your Kayak Fishing Tour?
|
No. We can teach you everything you need to know for both kayaking and fishing while on our Kayak Fishing Tours. A lot of our clients have never paddled or fished before and we can easily teach you the basics you need to enjoy yourself. Your guide will give you initial instruction plus ongoing paddle and fishing tips while on the water. Remember a Kayak Fishing Tour with us is both easy and fun. That said, we can also cater for those that enjoy a real challenge; please let us know what your experience is when booking with us, so we can ensure you have “the TIME of your life!” while on our Kayak Fishing Tour.

Where do you go?
|
Auckland Kayak Fishing Tours: About 30-45 minutes north of Auckland on the sheltered east coast, we are lucky to have some of New Zealand’s most beautiful white sandy beaches that are perfect for Kayak Fishing, since here both the Kayaking and the Kayak Fishing are fantastic in one of New Zealand’s most beautiful environments. We use this area for our Kayak Fishing Full Day Tours and also our Kayak Fishing Overnight Tours.
