This is a fun adventurous trip, perfect for the whole family.

Explore the Okura Estuary and Karepiro Bay.
• See rare NZ seabirds including New Zealand dotterills, oystercatchers, grey heron and possibly even royal spoonbills.
• You are likely to see fish flying through the air.
• Watch stingray as they cruise under your kayak.
• See beautiful protected native bush
• Visit the old settlers Dacre Cottage to learn about the history of the area.

We launch the kayaks at Awanohi Reserve, Redvale, North Shore and paddle down-river through stunning mangroves, following the native-bush clad northern bank.

Look for stingray gliding beneath your kayak, kingfisher and heron in the tress and mangroves. Dotterel and oystercatchers will be seen further down on he sand flats.
