You'll spend 4 days and 3 nights kayaking, camping, and exploring the stunning Mahurangi Region of Auckland, with a goal of camping overnight at the beautiful Motuora Island. The first half of the journey focuses on skill development with instructor guidance, while the second half emphasizes student leadership as you put your newfound skills into practice.
