A Memorable Sunset Kayaking Trip To Havelock Island

SUNSET KAYAKING

It was an outstanding experience to witness Havelock's sunset through a kayak. Kayaking in Havelock is the best way to watch the sunset by floating on the sea surface. A kayak is a kind of a non-engine small boat with 2 person seating capacity and can be operated via paddling onwards. 

We started our sunset kayaking journey at 4 pm from the Seahawks SCUBA dive center. We were taken to the havelock lighthouse which is located near Havelock Jetty. Havelock lighthouse is the recommended site to experience sunset kayaking in Havelock. We wore life jackets to venture into the activity and adhere to some instructions for a safe experience. 

Havelock lighthouse consists of crystal clear water bodies and offers suitable conditions to witness the sunset. Kayaking through the waves of water is a challenging but much more adventurous activity. The journey of Sunset kayaking starts through the narrow channels of Mangroves.  It’s a narrow water channel with both sides of mangrove forests. It was a splendid view of watching the sunset through the channels of mangroves.     

The patch of Mangrove forests takes 25 minutes to complete and open in an open area near Havelock lighthouse. There we stop to witness the sunset and take some awesome photographs for a lifetime memory. Havelock lighthouse is also the home of some magnificent coral reefs beneath the sea surface and the home of some diverse species of marine animals. 

We could clearly see live corals and species of fish in crystal clear water bodies. Our journey started at 4 pm and end after the sunset around 6 pm. The overall experience of watching the sunset was much more exciting and let us see some unforgettable aspects of nature. Professional instructors were always with us and guided us each time for a smooth and pleasant kayaking experience. A standby speed boat also joined the trip for safety and instant rescue.
