It was awesome fun, and we learnt so much along the way.

Josh and Mitchell were brilliant river guides and hosts keeping us entertained, and teaching us the ways of the river expertly! They turned our river kayaking experience from something we were slightly aprehensive about into a really relaxing, fascinating, and hilarious few days. We especially appreciated them giving up their New Years Eve to look after us along the duration of the river. A fantastic few days. Stunning scenery. This is a must-do experience if you are ever in this part of New Zealand!

( If you are totally new to kayaking I'd recommend starting from the regular launch spot at Ohinipane rather than Taumaranui itself, as there are a couple of tricky rapids just there :) )
