An Adventure where all can Participate!
Our river boat takes you to the calmest of water where it is easiest to learn, in no time paddle through mangrove forests or stand face to face to a waterfall

Our boat takes you to the best locations & makes kayaking / paddle boarding easy!

Our final destination is where a waterfall drops into the sea & if you dare, paddle up to or under the waterfall.

Great Day's Adventure

Excellent day out on the water! Ben was a great skipper/guide and made the whole day that much better. Even tho we had no experience paddle boarding we were able to stay upright and even got under the waterfall at Haruru Falls. Highly recommend for anyone!!

Nice!

We had a lovely afternoon. First time stand up paddling - the distance was a bit long when inexperienced but I guess we could have also switched to kayaks if we wished to :) Not 5 Stars because overall it wasn't our favorite thing to do, but the atmosphere and the super nice guides absolutely covered that.

Terriffic!

Kayaking in a beautiful spot where Iā€™d envied others kayaking before, this time it was our turn. A beautiful paddle along Waitangi River, time spent close up with Haruru falls, well protected spot for the whole thing, and a well appreciated host onboard both boat and kayak. Recommended any time!

Brilliant!

I booked to do a morning trip but was cancelled due to bad weather. But was able to do the evening cruise. Staff were extremely knowledgable of the Paihia area and safety rules on the water. As well as the SUP boarding the conversation was a lot of fun! I was super happy with the pic taken of me at the waterfall!

Soooo Good!

What a highlight of our trip. We were lucky enough to have a small group on our booking. The guys were so informative and friendly. Their local knowledge and enthusiasm was infectious. Well done, keep up the good work, will see you again. p.s take the photo package, they captured our experience perfectly.
