Not sea kayaking, sandboarding, neither caving nor surfing
That is to say our coastal tour takes the best of above both, mixed in this magnificent existential Boogie boarding experience. Body boarding, or prone riding, is a proven water based art form. For many, bodyboarding is the supreme wave riding sport. Body boarding fanatics might say that their sport preceded surfing as an ancient outdoor activity. And for a few Aucklanders, boogie boarding is just an easier way to get into the west coast waves at family friendly beaches. Likewise, Bethells Beach Body Boarding is a good water activity for kids and adults because bodyboards are tougher than surfboards. It’s in their core. Therefore, boogie boards are stiff and flexible at the same time. Finally, Paipo boards are older than surfboards. Bodyboards evolved from paipo boards, the wooden planks date back to 2,000 BC.
Moreover on the Bethells Beach Body Boarding tour, you will go through rock chasms while gazing over the Tasman sea and South Pacific Ocean. Bend your neck up 30m high cave walls, surf waves and admire crabs and starfish from a distance. During Te Henga (Bethells Beach) tours we sometimes have coastal visits from Little Blue Penguins or hear spooky cave echoes then realise it was just splashing water. Also we flipper 2km in distance and later see rocks ‘welded’ together. This adults and kids water activity explores west coast sea caves with plentiful life on their walls and floors. Discover anemones, starfish, sponges and Kelp forests.
This is a beginner family-friendly Auckland tour, an adult and kids water activity, with no surfing experience required. In fact our wetsuits, boogie boards and even flippers, were custom-made especially for the Bethells Beach Body Boarding tour. Swimming in our blue/green caves is an experience not easily put into words. Let turquoise natural pools wow you, unique rock formations amaze, and the sun rays cracking through cave openings inspire.
Te Henga (Bethells Beach) has a rugged west coast volcanic coastline covered in lush native bush. See spectacular sea caves, twisting tectonic tubes, towering volcanic arches and seasonal wildlife making it a water based Bethells Beach must do.
