Kiwiyakkers

New Zealand’s diverse landscape offers a variety of beautiful and exciting locations where kayaking is possible.  With volcanic lakes, rivers and more than its fair share of beaches, kayak hire will always hold new and interesting paddles in store. Float My Boat Kayak Hire and Adventure is located on Auckland’s North Shore and in close proximity to the Shore’s bays, Puhoi River and Lake Pupuke. (see map) As with any sport, there is a level of risk involved.  Float My Boat reserves the right to  refrain from renting out kayaks in weather that is not ideal for paddling or to paddlers who appear to be inappropriately dressed or equipped for a safe paddling experience. Float My Boat Kayak Hire and Adventure will hire kayaks out to paddlers who have had experience and those who are curious but we highly recommend that inexperienced paddlers and nervous swimmers go out in the company of a friend at a meandering pace.
