14 Kayak under the stars

Join Auckland Sea Kayaks’ (aucklandseakayaks.co.nz) sunset Rangitoto experience, which kicks off with a guided paddle from the seaside suburb of St Heliers to the city’s largest volcano. Once there, walk to the highest point on the island, tuck into a relaxed barbecue on the beach then kayak back after dark when the only thing to distract you from the vast canopy of stars above is the twinkling skyline in the distance.
