Bringing you Easy, Fun & Memorable Days on the Puhoi River
Self-guided kayaking for families, friends and teams-where nature, adventure and relaxation meet.
Our Story
Nestled in the picturesque Puhoi Village, Puhoi River Kayaks has been helping people escape the city and enjoy the calm beauty of the Puhoi River for over 30 years. Beginners, families, schools and corporate groups can enjoy paddling through native bush, mangroves and scenic farmland. We believe kayaking should be easy, safe and fun without complicated equipment, stressful guides or rushing schedules. Our mission is to make every paddler feel confident, relaxed and connected to nature.
Our Approach
Beginner-Friendly: No prior experience required. We provide a quick paddling refresher and all the equipment needed.
Self-Guided Freedom: Explore at your own pace. Glide through the calm waters, enjoy the scenery, and take in the wildlife.
Safety & Convenience: With buoyancy aids, clear instructions and a courtesy shuttle, you can focus on enjoying your day.
Local Charm: From the historic Puhoi Village and the spectacular Wenderholm Regional park, every paddle is a journey through New Zealand’s natural beauty.
