Itinerary

Seals, lagoons and kayak sailing. Vista Cruise to Torrent Bay in the heart of the park. See seals on Pinnacle Island. Walk to Anchorage.

9am  Meet your friendly guide at Kaiteriteri (or meet at Torrent Bay 10.15am if you are already in the park).
9.20am  Vista Cruise departs Kaiteriteri for a scenic cruise past the islands and golden coves of the Astrolabe Roadstead to Torrent Bay.

10.05am  On the golden beach sands in front of our Torrent Bay Lodge, your expert guide settles you into a stable double kayak with full instructions and safety brief. Then it's on to the water to explore the coves and islands of the granite coast.

Your guide ensures you make the most of the day depending on the tides, weather conditions, and your interests and abilities. Watch out for resident Blue Penguins and other sea birds along the coast. Enjoy watching the antics at the seal colony on Pinnacle Island (weather permitting). Stop at a sheltered golden cove for a lunch break. On your return journey, in favourable winds, your Guide hoists a sail to ride the breeze.
