Lovely little gem.
We really enjoyed kayaking on this peaceful, serene section of waterways and lake. Would highly recommend! Gavin and Cindy we’re both lovely and got us set up and off on our way in no time. You get to see lots of white Herons, we went in the morning and there wasn’t another soul on the lake, just lovely.

So happy you enjoyed your kayak Rebecca! There are an unusually large amount of Kotuku/white heron in the creek at the moment! What a treat!! So appreciate you supporting us ....legends!!💙👌

Beautiful experience
It was a last minute booking and we did not expect much. However the whole experience surpassed our expectation. We saw the rare white heron more than 5 times. We had the whole creek to ourselves and it was tranquil. Bird life was abundant and the water was calm. It was an enjoyable experience and we will definitely recommend it to our friends who alos enjoy water activities. Note: This is unguided so you need to be confident rowing (changing directions, going straight and stopping), orienting in wetlands and swim. Gavin came down to check if we could do all that and gave us clear instructions.

Thank you Regine.. ..you are a beautiful couple and it was our pleasure to meet you both and facilitate your adventure! Good on you for giving it a go...and what a treat to see so many Kotuku/White Herons! Look after yourselves....Gavin and Cindy.

Amazing scenery but needed a place to stop.
The wildlife and scenery were incredible but we definitely needed somewhere to be able to pull over and rest , picnic, stretch at least once on the river. A simple platform would have been ideal. It was hard for our 11 and 13 year old boys to keep going for 3-4 hours without a break.

Hi Martin, So pleased you thought the scenery was amazing...it is a special place! 💙 Our apologies, but it has been a protected Scenic Reserve since the 1800's and we would never be allowed to put up a man made structure for a pull over or picnic area. A pity you did not pull over onto the grass verge you were shown as one of your safety exit points...that makes a great stop over and swim spot :) Another great pull over spot is beneath the bridge overhead where you can climb out, walk over the bridge, and picnic at the old historic flaxmill and sawmill. You could even have walked up the Wilderness Trail a bit for a view of the wetlands. My apologies if Gavin forgot to mention this...I generally will let everyone know. Many thanks for giving it a go and getting to see how beautiful the Mahinapua lowland wetlands are...spectacular! Take care...Cindy Hopper.

Perfect afternoon!
This was a fantastic way to spend an afternoon! Four of us took two tandems which was great as we were able to take turns if you got tired. The river and lake are such beautiful places. 10/10 would recommend!
