Whangateau Kayak Day - Sunday June 25

This event provides a taster into kayaking and freshwater workshop, please only sign up to this event if you can commit to the full 2hr 15min time slot. Expect to spend ~50mins on the water kayaking and 45mins in the freshwater workshop.
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.
