What an exceptional 2 hours!!! The Pororari River Walk is amazing but seeing it via kayak is incredible!!! Beautiful clear water with stunning views all the way. I’d been waiting to do this for quite some time and it didn’t let me down! Fun on the return downstream with some very small rapids, very safe for families! Highly recommend and a must do if you’re in Punakaiki!! I’ll do again next time I’m here! Reasonably priced too and the staff were great 😄

Well orgamised business. Kayaks in good condition and all safety gear supplied. Staff friendly and helpful. We are seniors but felt very safe paddling the first pafrt of the river. Beautiful scenery snd very peaceful. Definitely recommend this experience

What a fun day. Kyaked up and down the river for a few hours. After all the hiking we have done in NZ it was great to see this beautiful scenery from a different perspective. We hired their E bikes for the afternoon part of a package they were offering Dion the new owner of the business gave us a good safety run down, suggested a few routes and we had a gorgeous afternoon on the E bikes. The whole thing was great value for money i would definately recommend both activities

Excellent few hours on the river. Time your trip with the incoming high tide to make it easier.
I paddled approx 2km upstream (had to walk a couple of places) then turned around and enjoyed the peace & quiet of the journey back down.

So much fun, would highly recommend if you’re in the area or even just passing through. Beautiful scenery and the owners of the company are lovely.
