Island View Road, Whangamatā 3620, Nova Zelândia

Whangamata is home to the beautiful Whenuakura Island (also known as Donut Island).

Because of the island’s geography, access is limited due to swell and wind conditions, and only kayaks or paddleboards can squeeze through the narrow entrance. The island is a wildlife sanctuary and opens up into a beautiful lagoon which is rather out of this world.

Join one of our experienced team on an adventure that takes us around the Wild Life Sanctuary of Whangamata Islands into a secluded turquoise lagoon surrounded by native fauna and volcanic cliff rock.

A castaway or pirate would feel at home in the secluded serenity of Whenuakura Island.
