Come join us to celebrate the estuaries of the Kaipātiki rohe with a free guided kayak, freshwater education stall and raranga - weaving workshop. Explore the mangroves and learn about the “love zone” for whitebait spawning. Go for a guided walk with local expert Neil Henderson from Kaipātiki Project. Learn about raranga – weaving harakeke with Para Kore Ki Tāmaki.
This event provides a taster into kayaking, raranga and a short guided walk through a 3hr time slot. Expect to spend ~50mins on the water kayaking.
Fun for the whole whanau – minimum age of 8.
