Paddle across the sparkling Waitematā Harbour to Auckland’s iconic volcano while the sun sets behind the Waitākere Ranges, painting the sky in hues of romance.
After a quick paddling briefing (because teamwork makes the dream work), you and your valentine will glide through waters alive with wildlife—keep an eye out for Little Blue Penguins and Cook’s Petrels. Upon reaching Rangitoto Island, it’s time for a one-hour trek to the summit. The climb is worth it: you’ll be rewarded with 360-degree views that redefine romance.
When you return to the shore, a delicious Kiwi-style BBQ dinner will be waiting for you—because what’s a date without great food? Afterward, paddle back to the city under a canopy of stars, with the Auckland skyline twinkling like a love song in the distance. During the warmer months, you might even witness bioluminescence, adding a touch of natural magic to the night.
