Come join us to celebrate the Puhinui Creek with a free guided kayak, freshwater monitoring workshop and beach clean up. Explore the mangroves and learn about the local wildlife. Participate in a litter intelligence audit with Te Pu-a-Nga Maara and Para Kore Ki Tāmaki and learn how to monitor your local streams with Whitebait Connection.

This event provides a taster into kayaking, freshwater monitoring and a beach clean up through a 3hr time slot. Expect to spend ~50mins on the water kayaking.

Fun for the whole whanau – minimum age of 8.

Te Kura Moana - Experiencing Marine Reserves runs a series of free and subsidised events over the summer months - we rely on your support to make them happen. We appreciate donations, either cash/eftpos on the day, online or by giving a koha of your time volunteering at a future event. Some people donate $5-10pp.

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