We welcome you as kaitiaki (guardians) of our waterways. You will be part of an immersive cultural experience on the Ōtākaro, Avon River with a focus on the conservation and restoration of the riverbed. Manuhiri (visitors) will participate in a kaihoe warm-up game, kaihoe haka lesson, Waka journey and walking tour.

A minimum of 4 people is required to paddle our waka. We will contact you within 24 hours prior to your scheduled tour time if we need to re-schedule your tour. For groups of 30 or more, please email info@wakaonavon.co.nz.
