Come and explore our local marine reserve by kayak. Learn first-hand from marine experts about the marine life that lives there and get kayaking tuition from professionals. Fun for all ages! You will be guided through large mature mangroves and down a tidal channel where one of New Zealand's largest colonies of cormorants lives and nests. See mullet leaping clear out of the water, flounder in the shallows and the majestic royal spoonbill hiding in the mangroves if you're really lucky!
