Learn how to Kayak at Pataua South
“Pataua Paddle” is on today, Anzac Day, at 904 Pataua South. Sessions are at 9.30am, 10.30am, 11.30am. Participants will spend 50 minutes on the water and be guided through large mature mangroves and under the Pataua footbridge as they look for native birds and marine life. Children younger than 8 can’t participate. Children aged 8-10 need to have a confident adult in the back of their kayak, and children under 15 need an adult companion too. Registrations are essential, as there are only 48 spots available. You must arrive 15 minutes prior to your slot in order to fit a life jacket and register. Bring footwear, a spare change of clothes and sun protection. Lifejackets and kayaks are provided. Questions can be directed to event organiser Tracey at traceyp@emr.org.nz or 027 8230299.
