| Mark Hutson, one
of New Zealand's most experienced guides and instructors, has been
running guided sea kayak tours out of the Bay of Islands since 1986
- becoming expert with gourmet meals and luxury kayak camping. Having
grown up in Hawaii, surfing and skin diving were among Mark's childhood
activities, as well as surf life saving and sailing in his university
years. Later on, alpine guiding and ski mountaineering in Washington State,
commercial fishing in Alaska and designing and sewing mountaineering equipment
in Seattle were other pursuits before "discovering" the
magnificent Northeast
coast of northern New Zealand and settling into the Bay of Islands.
During NZ's winters, Mark likes to get away for his own extended recreation. Usually he heads to Hawaii for kayaking and adventure swimming, and the Pacific North West's mountains or to the South Island of NZ, in search of the snow. Free diving, surfing and adventure swimming (while towing camping gear) are activities he has been pursuing in recent years. |
