About Waiheke Adventure Centre

Waiheke Adventure Centre is an activity centre at Matiatia Beachfront on Waiheke Island. It runs from an eco base at Matiatia and offers kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding and a range of other activities through the year. The kayak trips include sea kayaking to coves, caves and canyons that only kayaks can reach, and a relaxed one-hour cruise around the 3 km perimeter of the Matiatia harbour. Stand-up paddle boards are available for groups of four to ten.

The centre also offers sailing lessons and hire, guided and self-guided electric fat-wheel mountain bike rides along bush tracks, fields and beaches, archery, and team games such as soccer, the gauntlet, sumo and relay. Full-face snorkel masks with 180-degree vision are available for hire. The website says the business was established in 1987 by Ross, after kayak adventures in Auckland, Devonport and Great Barrier Island.
