Waiwera Kayak Day - Saturday June 24

Come join us for a free guided kayak through the beautiful Waiwera Estuary. Spot native wildlife with Experiencing Marine Reserves, learn about the local waterways and catchment with Whitebait Connection and get expert kayaking instruction from Auckland Sea kayaks.

This event provides a taster into kayaking. Expect to spend ~50mins on the water kayaking.
Sea conditions permitting - we will run with light rain.

Te Kura Moana - Experiencing Marine Reserves runs a series of free and subsidised events over the summer months - we rely on your support to make them happen. We appreciate donations, either cash/eftpos on the day, online or by giving a koha of your time volunteering at a future event. Some people donate $5-10pp.

Children younger than 8 will not be able to participate. Children aged 8-12 need to have a confident adult in the back of their kayak. Children under 13 need an adult companion.

Registrations are essential.

This event is in partnership with Auckland Sea Kayaks and Whitebait Connection and is funded by the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board and Tū Manawa Active Aotearoa. EMR has the support of The Bobby Stafford-Bush Foundation across our Auckland Events.
