We will start from Okahu Bay and head either to Motuihe (12.5 k without any detours, a bit more if we stop over on Browns Island or Rangitoto) or Home Bay on Motutapu (about 16 k including a stop at Rangitoto Wharf or the old Navy mine storage site). Both have beautiful camp sites with very simple facilities (essentially toilets and water). There are some lovely little walks from both camp sites. Participants would need their own camping equipment, book their tent sites online themselves and be self-sufficient with food etc.
Low tide on Saturday will be around 10.45 am – so we will have to leave Okahu Bay at 8.30 am or 9.00 am, depending on which island we’ll aim for. Return on Sunday would be in the early afternoon, to take advantage of the incoming tide (arriving back in Okahu Bay around 3.30 or 4.00 pm). Trip leader will be Peter Moses.
Contact
If you’re interested, please let Peter know as soon as possible (text 0272123889 on WhatsApp or peter@moses.nz ). He will then be in touch with you to confirm if the trip will go ahead and which campground to book.

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.
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.
