Join us for a meaningful adventure on Wednesday 29th January! Meet us at the St Heliers Beach boat ramp at 8:30 AM for a free kayak tour and beach clean-up at the stunning Motukorea (Browns Island). Registrations essential. 🌊 What to Expect
Paddle across the Hauraki Gulf from St Heliers to Motukorea and take part in a beach clean-up supported by our amazing friends at Sea Cleaners. Together, we’ll help protect this beautiful marine environment by collecting rubbish while exploring one of Auckland’s best-preserved volcanic islands.
🏝️ Why Motukorea?
Accessible only by private boats and kayaks, Motukorea (‘island of the pied oystercatcher bird’) is a hidden gem with breathtaking views, a fascinating volcanic history, and an untouched natural environment.
✨ Special Opportunity for Duke of Edinburgh Participants
This beach clean-up tour qualifies as Voluntary Service for students completing their Duke of Edinburgh Hillary Awards. It’s a chance to give back, build confidence, develop communication skills, and make a positive impact on your community. Minimum age for attendance: 14 years old.
🐾 Help Keep Motukorea Pest-Free
