Come join us and celebrate Seaweek by kayaking through mangrove forests and the edge of Ambury Farm. Spot native shore birds and see the Manukau Harbour from a different perspective. This event is a taster into kayaking - expect to spend ~50mins on the water. Fun for the whole whānau.

Sea conditions permitting - we will run with light rain. Koha/donations are appreciated - there will be facilities for cash and eftpos on site.

Children younger than 8 will not be able to participate. Children aged 8-12 need to have a confident adult in the back of their kayak. Children under 13 need an adult companion.

Registrations are essential. Vaccination certificates for all those ages 12 years 3 months and over will be required

This event is in partnership with The Friends of the Farm , Auckland Sea Kayaks, Whitebait Connection and Para Kore Ki Tāmaki and is funded by The Bobby Stafford-Bush Foundation, Māngere- Ōtāhuhu Local Board and Auckland Unlimited.

Sustainable Coastlines is also running a Manukau Harbour Clean up alongside our kayak day. Why not give back to the environment you are exploring and help rid the coast of rubbish, there will be yummy kai, educational games and pumping music to keep the motivation going. Please note you must register for the clean up separately to the kayaking if you wish to attend both.
