KAYAK HIRE IN ROTORUA
KAYAK FREEDOM HIRE
We have single and double Sea Kayaks available for hire.
Paddle to a secluded beach or enjoy a hot water swim only accessible by boat.
Bookings are essential.
You will need a trailer or roof racks to transport the kayaks. We do have some foam roof racks that may work for some cars. Delivery may be available but additional charges do apply.
Transfers can be arranged for Our Ohau Channel Freedom Kayak trip if you want to do a freedom trip but do not have your own transport.
For freedom hire we would recommend that you know how to swim and have kayaked before. We may be able to make exceptions to this if you are paddling in a sheltered area and conditions allow, please call us to discuss this.
We do not allow solo hires, you need to paddle with someone else.
If you do not meet this criteria or you would prefer a guide we can arrange guided tours on request to any of the local lakes or try our scheduled Guided Hot Pools trip to Manupirua Springs Hot Pools or Evening BBQ & Glow Worms Trip.
