About

At Motu Hāwere ā Maki (Goat Island) Marine Reserve, Leigh, Auckland, New Zealand

As you paddle through the stunningly clear waters of the Goat Island Marine Reserve, you're likely to see a variety of fish such as Snapper (tāmure), Red Moki (nanua), Blue Maomao, and perhaps even some Eagle Rays (whai keo) and Stringrays (whai). ​ This unique experience is unlike any other kayaking adventure, allowing you to marvel at the marine life that swims just below your Clearyak.

Fun and educational for all ages, our oldest person so far has been 76, while 3 is our youngest.

Goat Island Marine Reserve is a magnificent marine environment that attracts people from all over New Zealand. We must acknowledge the support of Ngāti Manuhiri, Auckland Council, Auckland Transport, Department of Conservation, and the local Whangateau and Leigh communities who supported us in launching this special experience to New Zealand in January 2017.

This is a family-run business run by locals, so we hope we provide great local knowledge to your experience. We can't wait to share it with you.

*PURE & PEACEFUL View the marine life beneath you as you gently paddle the reserve.

*CONNECTION With the underwater world. A safe option.

*ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY There is no noise or sound pollution in the water compared to the engine on a powerboat, so the fish are comfortable with coming up close.

ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS

Clearyaks are environmentally safe for the water and unobtrusive to the ecosystem. There are many benefits for the environment when Clearyaking: Clearyaks are completely self-powered and use no gas or oil; therefore there is no possibility of leaking these substances into the water.

Clearyaks:

• Do not use excessive speed and do not disrupt the shoreline.
• Are enjoyable to paddle and provide a great peaceful escape from day-to-day life.
• Allow you to explore areas that you can not access by land or by motor boat.
• Are double seated and there are never too many out at a time.
• Allow you to become at one with the elements and enjoy the aquatic and wildlife around you without disturbing them.
