SUP Day - Karewa Island
- Duration: 6 Hours (approx.)
- Location: Tauranga, Bay of Plenty
Situated off the coast of Mt Maunganui, this rocky island is a wildlife sanctuary, home to the native Tuatara lizard.
We head out on the Bay Explorer on a scenic trip in search of our local marine life. Who knows what we'll see - maybe dolphins, whales, orca, sunfish, leatherback turtles.
After a short cruise, we head to Karewa Island where we park up, offload our paddle boards and circumnavigate approx. 2.8kms of the island - an easy slow cruise around, taking in the island's visual treasures. We also have the opportunity to snorkel and swim before we are back on the Bay Explorer after our wee adventure to enjoy a barbecue and refreshments.
Back on land, you will have a camera full of memories to look back on.
