Tutukaka Coast Retreat

Arrive in Tutukaka in the evening to your bach style accommodation and enjoy the welcome nibbles and drinks provided. Start day two with a flat-water Standup Paddleboard (SUP) lesson followed by a leisurely paddle to a lovely beach for lunch. Take a short hike to a great view point and finish your paddle with a ride on some small waves. Your day ends with a delicious dinner at one of our local restaurants, Schnappa Rock or Wahi.

On day three, choose from a range of local activities including a dive or snorkel trip to the Poor Knights Islands Marine Reserve, a horse trek from Sandy Bay, a SUP Yoga class or a surfing lesson. For a more relaxed day, choose one of many great coastal walk ways or visit romantic Whale Bay for a picnic. Optional activities not included in the tour cost.

Summer dates for this retreat are December 11-13, January 22-24 and February 19-21.
