The Wellington police boat has rescued several kayakers who were tipped into the harbour by large swells this morning.
A police spokesperson said a call was received from a member of the public about 8.30am alerting them that the kayakers were in trouble.
She said the kayakers were about 200m out from the Overseas Passenger Terminal in Wellington Harbour.
The Wellington Police Maritime Unit were at the scene within five minutes and all of the kayakers were accounted for.
Former National MP Aaron Gilmore was among the group who paddle together every Tuesday at dawn.
