Photographers, nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts will thrill at the sight of the Waitangi Estuary's serene beauty from a unique perspective-from the cockpit of a kayak. Whether this is your first time kayaking or you're an old pro, this excursion is fun for adventurers as young as five. You'll depart the Waitangi pier with your guide and walk across the Waitangi Bridge to your waiting kayak. A safety briefing and basic paddling instructions will be provided at the departure site. Then, you'll don your gear, push off into the water and navigate through the Waitangi Estuary's sheltered waters. In the mangrove forest you'll paddle past woody vegetation, gnarled tree trunks, mangrove trees and ferns that create leafy green tunnels to the unique Haruru Waterfall. Finally, you'll stop for refreshments at Waitangi Beach with views of the waterfall and a chance for a refreshing swim before returning to the pier.
