Meeting Point

Your charter leaves from the end of Stephens Bay Road, Kaiteriteri, at 10am and returns at 4pm.

We have no offices at Stephens Bay but are the only commercial operators from this quiet little beach. There are places to park along the road in front of the houses near Stephens Bay reserve away from the 180 minute signs or you can park on the side of the road at nearby Cook Crescent.

Please wait at the top of the beach until the skipper collects you at about 9.50am. It is helpful to have your shoes off at this point for the step onto the tender off the beach. Due to the very large tides in the area the landing point for our tender changes throughout the day and you will need to step through the water up to mid-calf, on and off beaches throughout the day.

We have a location mark on Google maps for ATC at Stephens Bay and GPS Co. Ords are -41.0477 173.015

We suggest you bring your swimsuit for kayaking, a windproof jacket, and shoes that you can easily remove.

If you have any questions, or need further directions please feel free to ask.

Cancellation policy

Full refund if cancelled up to 30 days before activity starts.
