Cinematic seacaves around Tarakihi Island. Bennett Lim and his students from AUT - Auckland University of Technology scored the best weather window for a 5-day sea kayak journey, starting in central Auckland and exploring all the way down to the Eastern end of Waiheke. The rest of us are rather jealous!

An amazing night on the water with our City Lights Kayak Tour! Stunning scenes around the Viaduct & Westhaven, with dragon boaters practicing, a women’s sailing regatta, and the Sky Tower lit up in all its glory. We sipped tea by the Maritime Museum and even enjoyed live music playing on the Viaduct. Such a treat! Auckland

Stunning night shots of Rangitoto Island and Motukorea, captured by the talented Richard Harri Making Photographs 🌙✨ His photos beautifully showcase the calm serenity of the Hauraki Gulf after the wind settles, during those peaceful moments when the boaties have all headed home. Richard’s epic goal this year? Paddling 3,000km! 🛶 He experiences these scenes more than most.

Did you know Auckland’s Māori name, Tāmaki Makaurau, means "Tāmaki desired by many"? This name reflects the abundance of natural resources, strategic location, and rich cultural history that first attracted Māori, and later many others. 🌊🐟

From the beauty of Rangitoto to the thriving birdlife and iconic maunga, it’s easy to see why Auckland has always been a place people want to call home.

Rangitoto Island - A Place of Ancestral Stories

Many place names in Aotearoa (New Zealand) reflect the rich histories of our tūpuna (ancestors). Rangitoto translates to 'Bloody Sky', with its full name, Ngā Rangi-i-totongia-a Tama-te-kapua, meaning "The days of the bleeding of Tama-te-kapua." This name recalls the story of Tama-te-kapua, captain of the Arawa waka, who was badly wounded after losing a battle to the Tainui iwi at Islington Bay.

Come explore Rangitoto Island and learn it's rich history on one of our guided tours!

As we celebrate Te Wiki o te Reo Māori, let’s explore Motukorea (also known as Browns Island) in the Hauraki Gulf.

The name Motukorea combines “motu”, meaning island, with “korea” or “torea”, meaning oystercatcher. This island remains a vital habitat for these coastal birds, as well as for the threatened New Zealand dotterel. 🐦🌿

Motukorea is one of the best-preserved volcanoes in the Auckland volcanic field and is only accessible via private vessel. Discover its unique history and natural beauty with us!

🌊 Te Wiki o te Reo Māori: Celebrating Place Names in Tāmaki Makaurau 🌿

Throughout the week, we’re uncovering the stories of place names that are significant to both our journeys and our connection to Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland).

Today, we explore the Hauraki Gulf / Tīkapa Moana Marine Park.
Hauraki translates to "north wind" – a name that reflects how the gulf is only exposed to open sea from the north. Hau means wind, and raki means north. 🌬️

According to Māori legend, Ureia, a taniwha in the form of a whale, protects these waters. 🐋

Let’s embrace the rich history of these beautiful places together!

Tom won! At last months New Zealand Outdoor Instructors Outdoor Excellence Awards, Auckland Sea Kayaks Tom Groothuizen was awarded the prestige's 'Emerging Guide' award. NZOIA Chair Gemma Parkin said Mr Groothuizen had achieved some outstanding feats at a relatively young age and the award recognized his unwavering adventurous spirit and patience. “To say Tom’s life has been an adventure would be an understatement. He has ‌biked 50,000‌‌ km‌ ‌across‌ ‌the‌ ‌full‌ ‌length‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌Americas,‌ ‌Africa‌ ‌and‌ ‌Asia,‌ ‌has‌ ‌kayaked‌ ‌down‌ the‌ Danube ‌River – ‌a staggering‌‌ ‌2,850 ‌km – and hiked the full length of Mongolia. “We are so impressed by Tom’s attitude and enthusiasm. He is smart and keen to learn, putting in a huge number of hours outside of work, including building his own kayaks during periods of COVID-19 lockdown in Auckland. He is also incredibly committed to sustainability, always including beach cleans on his school tours. “Tom’s passion for the ocean, unique perspectives and dedication to providing fantastic experiences for the people he takes into the outdoors are just some of the reasons he is the deserved winner of this year’s Emerging Guide award,” Ms Parkin said. The NZOIA Outdoor Excellence Awards are held annually to recognise the highest achievements of individuals involved in outdoor recreation, education and guiding in New Zealand. The awards ceremony was held digitally due to Covid-19 restrictions. Here is his acceptance speech.
