The general plan:
A circle, taking in the following Regional Parks Plan 1 Plan 2 When booking use Plan 1
Duders <=> Tapapakaianga Fri Mon
Tapapakaianga <=> Waitawa Sat Fri
Waitawa <=> Whakanewha Sun Sat Low tide -16:21 Sat, 16:57 Sun
Whakanewha/Rocky Bay <=> via Omana to Duders Mon Sun High tide - 10:58 Sun, 11:35 Mon
The start point is likely to be Duders, but depending on wind direction, might be Tapapakaianga.
The Map - From Approaches to Auckland n532 & The Firth of Thames n533
The Tides
Refer to General camping list. For detail / comprehensive list of gear, etc.
Note: As all your gear needs to go in your kayak, please get yourself some dry bags. I personally prefer 10L dry bags, as they pack into you kayak easier than the larger dry bags. It would be best if at least your clothes & sleeping bag are in dry bags.
If you do not have any dry bags consider buying some from: Canoe & Kayak, Bivouac, Warehouse etc. all have various forms of dry bags. Alternatively, bring your own thick black bags rubbish bags.
If you've camped a lot and have all the gear, please still browse through the suggested list of things to take. There are useful suggestions such as having only 1 set of dry camp clothes and 1 set of (potentially) wet kayaking clothes. In addition, you should already be carrying 1 set of emergency clothes in a dry bag. This has proved to be sufficient for 2 days, or 10.
Also, footwear should be minimised to booties for kayaking and jandals/sandals and/or gummies (if remotely cold) for camp. Camp footwear will get wet in the dew on that inevitable early morning visit to the long drop. If its cold enough to need socks then gummies are recommended (bring a coupe of bread bags as emergency gummy liners).

Camp Site Bookings
You need to book your own camp sites:

-
Have a look at: http://regionalparks.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/bookable-sites/Camping
I recommend you ring to book because of the multiple sites. "Call 09 301 0101 to make a booking. To save time, you can book multiple campgrounds at the same time."
Food wise:
-
As is our tradition, we enjoy shared snacks before dinner (e.g. Chips, dips, cheese & crackers, nuts, Humus & Vegi’s etc.)
-
We will cook dinner.
-
I will have a spare cooker – that people who do not have cookers can share
-
You need to bring your own dinner with you.
-
Most of the below are examples of packaged food that you can buy at the supermarket. Prices vary from $2.60 - $7.00. Most of these dishes are in sachees – that can be put in boiling water to heat. They are “Long Life” type food that does not need to be refrigerated.
