What you can expect
Start your day with the morning Split Apple half day kayaking adventure before boarding the Sea Shuttle at Kaiteriteri beach for a scenic cruise to Anchorage bay. Enjoy picturesque bays and beaches whilst keeping your eyes peeled for New Zealand Fur Seals at the fur seal colony.
Enjoy relaxing at the beach at Anchorage bay or walk the 1.5 hour (4km) Pitt Head loop track boasting stunning views of Te Pukatea Bay and visit the historic Maori Pa site. An alternative option is to walk to the Cleopatra Pools. This takes approximately 1 hour 30 mins return around the Torrent Bay estuary. Make sure you allow extra time to soak up the crystal mountain swimming pool complete with a natural water slide.
Get back to Anchorage bay in time to board the Sea Shuttle at 3.45pm for a 4.30pm return to Kaiteriteri Beach.

Recent reviews
The activities were well organised! And were great fun. However we wont book with NZ everything ! The confirmation of the trip came when we already where on our way. You are uncertain if the booking went well en the activity will actually take place and ywe got no information about time place etc.
Good value for money overall
