Auckland Canoe Club holds a range of events where we paddle and play together. Some events are just for members, but most are open to all. We encourage you to come along and see what we are about. If you like what you see, join the club!
A small team of paddlers explored Fiordland’s remote coastline, launching from Milford Sound and venturing south along dramatic cliffs and secluded beaches. They camped in sheltered bays, navigated changing weather from calm seas to mist and rain, and experienced the raw beauty of untouched wilderness. The journey ended with a return to Milford Sound, completing an unforgettable expedition in one of New Zealand’s most spectacular regions.
On this trip I was keen to visit Tarahiki Island, which sits in the Firth of Thames east of Pakatoa. This photo of Tarahiki was taken several weeks earlier, (from Rotoroa Island).
Auckland Canoe Club has been part of the kayaking scene in Auckland since 1954. It has a proud history of helping its members have fun on the water and improve their paddling skills. The club’s main focus is sea kayaking in the waters of Tāmaki Makaurau but occasionally trips are also organised further afield.
Our members are active participants in all types of paddling experiences that get them out on the water, including exploration and camping, social meandering, expeditions, rescue training, rock gardening and surfing. The club offers a variety of events, trips and training sessions and is run by volunteers. The club’s home base is its storage shed on the Ōkahu Bay boat ramp on Tāmaki Drive, Auckland. This facility and the club’s hire fleet are available for members.
