Walk & Kayaking Tour - Coastal Kayakers
Really can't say enough about how much fun this tour was. We did the Hauru Falls Walk followed by kayak back to base camp in Paihia a couple of days ago. Great trip. Our guide Chad was fantastic....thanks Chad. Highly recommend this to anyone wanting a good 1/2 day out to see the waterways and falls in Paihia. Thanks Coastal Kayakers.

Relaxing and peaceful
Chad is a very friendly and chatty guide. Nothing was too much trouble and he helped with every query. Would highly recommend the walk and kayak combo as best of both worlds. Try to time your trip with a high tide to explore mangrove colony.

This product is the best of both worlds and we agree with you completely walking and paddling through the enchanting mangrove forest is truly breathtaking.

Wonderful experience!
I had walked the track many times before I booked the Walk & Paddle Tour with Coastal Kayakers and I had enjoyed it every single time, especially the boardwalk through the beautiful mangrove forest. It was something completely different to take in the scenery in a kayak on the Waitangi river and absolutely worth the experience! The service at Coastal Kayakers was fantastic and our tour guides clearly loved their work. Thank you!

Wonderful time with Coastal Kayakers
Great walk to the falls. Easy and beautiful through the mangrove forest. You end up at the falls where you start your kayaking trip. You get up close and personal with the falls and then kayak back to the office. It was really nice and the guide is very patient and knows all about the area you paddle through. We saw plenty of birds on the way. You receive pictures for free at the end of your trip which is very nice. I recommend!
