Both the East and West coasts of the Coromandel Peninsula offer an enormous range of exceptional kayaking.

The recent extended warm periods means the sea is also warming up - but typical Spring weather mean sudden squalls, grey clouds as well as the fine spells. Hiding close to shore is a good way to avoid the wind, and the coastline near the Valley provides lots of places to shelter and explore safely.

There are also a great number of sea arches and caves to play in when the sea is calm.
