Wairoa River Kayak and Waimarino
Year 9 Activities Day
40 of our girls enjoyed an experience on the Wairoa River. Launching from the Omanawa River, they paddled a 7.5km scenic flat water paddle back to Waimarino Adventure Park where they enjoyed some water fun at the park.
A highlight was stopping en route to learn about the pūrākau (story) of Poripori, a very large taniwha who was chased out of the Wairoa River and Tauranga area by Te Pura.
Thank you to Ms Gill, Mrs Mastny, Ms Richardson and Miss Belworthy for accompanying us on this fun day.
