From here you start the Remote Coast Guided Kayak trip. It’s an awesome day exploring the Marine Reserve including going up shag harbor to visit the seal pups and out to tonga Island. The second nights camp is Mosquito Bay. Don’t let the name fool you, it is one of the best beaches in the park and highly sort after. Book in early to get this!

Day three, you are in command of your own kayak. Explore down through the bays rivers and lagoons until you get to Anchorage where you will set up camp for the third night. If you have time, skip off to Te Pukatea bay via the Pitt Head Loop, a great place to explore and go for a swim. There has been a lot of conservation efforts on this point, so the bush is regenerating well and the bird life if coming back stronger here.
