WHY ISLAND HOPPING IS SPECIAL
More than just kayaking - a true exploration adventure
Adventure + Exploration
Unlike short kayaking trips, this journey takes you across open waters to nearby islands, sandbars, and secret lagoons.
Scenic Coastline Views
Paddle alongside coral reefs, limestone formations, and beaches you won't see from land.
Hidden Beaches
Land on small, unspoiled patches of sand where you can stretch, relax, or take a dip.
Wild Encounters
Keep an eye out for tropical birds, reef fish beneath your kayak, and sometimes even dolphins cruising nearby.
Fitness & Fun
A longer paddle means more of a workout, but also a deeper connection with nature.
Paddle Beyond the Shore
For those who crave more than just a glimpse of the mangroves, Island Hopping Kayaking is your chance to push past the familiar and explore the hidden gems around Havelock.
This is an adventure for the curious, for those who want to glide across the turquoise sea, hop between untouched islets, and feel the thrill of discovering Havelock's coastline from the water.
