Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Such a great trip kayaking along Ngunguru river. Perfect for our beginner level of kayaking. Despite the drizzling rain at one point, the river was calm and our guide timed it all well so we weren’t going against the tide. Our pit-stop break for coffee along the way was just the re-fuelling that we needed. Our guide, Mark, was patient and made us feel at ease and safe out on the water. Recommend!

Great tour with the best guide. Amazing views and very manageable track, even for complete beginners.
Mark our guide was friendly, experienced, knowledgeable and very patient. Also prepared a lovely cuppa in the middle of the tour which made the trip even better!
10/10 would recommend

Mark and Amy did an amazing job in finding the perfect tour to go kayaking. The weather was not great, but thanks to Marks competent preparation and willingness to move things around, we had an awesome fun day on the water! I look forward to do a other trip with Pacific Coast Kayaks

What a great kayak tour to Limestone Island. Thank you to our friendly guide, Mark, who was an excellent teacher particularly for us who were beginners on a sea kayak. Beautiful part of the country to visit. If you are looking for a guided kayak tour in Whangarei, we recommend using Pacific Coast.

Awesome day spent kayaking, took us through Ngunguru river and out into the harbour. Tailored the trip to make it fun but suitable for us beginners. Mark was super flexible and very knowledgeable about the wildlife and landscape of the area. Would recommend to anyone who is looking for a fun day out.

Spent a lovely Sunday morning kayaking waitoi creek. The kayaks are great quality and Mark (our guide/the owner) really tries to tailor the boats to suit the paddlers.
Mark is very knowledgeable about the history, nature and birdlife of the area which made the paddle even more enjoyable.
Mark is very experienced and has lots of variety of trips to choose from. We will definitely be booking another trip!

et with Mark, who helped with organizing the whole thing. Honestly made the experience a lot easier.
All of us had a lot of fun, and they go over different techniques for beginners like us.
Well worth the time and money to visit and do.
Also, A+ for meeting with us at our end point destination as we were thinking it would be difficult to find them afterwards.
Would definitely going again and exploring a different area.
Must try.

Mark led us on an outstanding day of kayaking and snorkeling through the Reotahi Marine Reserve. Mark is an excellent guide who is well versed in the local natural and human history. He is truly concerned that his guests have a memorable but safe day on the water.
