Kayaking on Waitangi Estuary

Discover the calm waters of the Waitangi Estuary during this scenic kayaking tour. Join your guide at the wharf and walk to your awaiting kayaks. After receiving your safety instructions, your kayaking adventure begins. You’ll see an abundance of mangrove trees, and their extensive root systems protruding from beneath the water's surface. These unique trees are the lifeblood of this estuary and a favorite breeding ground for many small fish. At the end of the estuary, you’ll arrive at Haruru Falls, which are surrounded on one side by the Waitangi Forest. Although not especially high, the falls are still an impressive sight, especially after a recent rainfall. Light refreshments will be served at a picnic area near the falls before returning to the Waitangi Wharf.
