Bay of Islands Activities

Paddleboarding

Find joy in paddleboarding around the coasts of the Bay of Islands.

There is no greater feeling than being under the sun exploring the beautiful waters in the Bay of Islands. Paddleboarding is one of the most relaxing water activities - it clears the mind. Unlike other water sports, it offers serenity rather than adrenaline.

The Bay's coastline offers a wide array of paddleboarding spots with glass-like waters. Choose Kayaking or Paddleboarding as your water activity at The Rock. Nothing beats an up-close wildlife encounter to remind you to live in the moment.

Standing up and balancing while paddling is easier than it looks. Beginners: get comfortable on your knees until you manage to stand in the calm. Tip: "Don't forget to get wet." If you fall, hang on to your board and get back up - it's all part of the fun.
