Come join us for a free guided kayak through the mangrove forests of the Manukau Harbour, winding through the Pahurehure Inlet. Spot native 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. We will have landbased activities of a raranga - weaving workshop (registrations essential - details below) and a freshwater education stall. Sea conditions permitting - we will run with light rain.
