The remaining time is dedicated to coastal exploration, acquainting yourself with sea kayak equipment and your surroundings. Speaking of Auckland's surroundings, the Waitemata Harbour and Hauraki Gulf teem with marine life, including coastal birds like Dotterel and Oystercatchers.

Uninhabited and designated a recreational reserve, Browns Island welcomes explorers to discover its natural allure and historic sites.
