Puhoi River Kayaking from Puhoi Village

Hi guys

It's one of our most popular events so......

Let's go kayaking with 'Puhoi River Kayaks' again !
Come along and enjoy a safe and fantastic adventure with our group.

We are going to explore the Puhoi River around Puhoi Village by kayak, venturing both upstream, and downstream for around an hour, then finish with a cool drink and bite to eat at the Puhoi Pub and enjoy the afternoon Band live music (optional).

For those who do not kayak but still want to join in us at the Puhoi Pub for drink and music , you are most welcome to meet us at Pub about 12:00 .
Please answer questions and choose a), b) or c) options.

We will meet at Puhoi Kayaks (across the road from the historical Puhoi church just as you enter the village)
There's plenty of parking on both sides of the road.
Please make sure you are there by 10.15 am and ready to go by 10.30am.

You'll be kitted out with a lifejacket and shown some basic paddling instruction along with a safety briefing before we head off exploring.

The voyage will take approx 1 hour.
It's all flat water with no rapids or waterfalls!

It will be gentle paddling, and we'll point out areas of interest along the way.

Afterwards, you're welcome to join us for some well deserved relaxation and camaraderie at the Puhoi Pub.
Enjoy the live music .
