Full Description

Embark on a unique aquatic adventure with Bethells Boogie, an exhilarating boogie boarding experience along Auckland’s stunning west coast. This family-friendly tour takes you on a journey through the hidden wonders of Bethells Beach, where you’ll explore towering sea caves, glide through rock chasms, and admire the rich marine life that thrives in the area. Designed for both beginners and seasoned water enthusiasts, the tour provides everything you need, including custom-made wetsuits, boogie boards, and flippers. No previous surfing experience is required—just a sense of adventure.

Not Just Another Water Activity

This four-hour tour offers more than just boogie boarding; it’s a full-sensory experience that combines the best elements of surfing, sea kayaking, and caving. You’ll swim in turquoise natural pools, explore twisting tectonic tubes, and marvel at 30-meter-high cave walls. Along the way, you might spot crabs, starfish, kelp forests, and even Little Blue Penguins. The tour operates only when the Auckland swell is calm, adding an element of surprise and excitement.

A Must-Do Auckland Experience

Bethells Boogie also offers a fascinating glimpse into the geological and cultural history of the area. You’ll learn about the dormant Waitakere Volcano, once the largest stratovolcano in New Zealand, and discover the rich heritage of Bethells Beach, Te Henga, and O’Neill’s Bay. This rugged volcanic coastline, covered in lush native bush, is not only a natural wonder but also a site of historical significance and cinematic fame. Whether you’re captivated by the spectacular sea caves or the filming locations, Bethells Boogie is an unforgettable experience that truly connects you with the beauty and history of Auckland’s west coast.
