VIP Kayak Day at Matuku Link

About this Event

Experience Auckland’s largest wetland at a unique VIP kayak tour to raise funds for wetland restoration at Matuku Link on World Rivers Day.

The navigable part of Waitākere River is accessible only from private land and on this one day, access will be allowed. Limited tickets available for only $75 each, all gear (kayaks, paddles, life vests etc) and training provided. Suggested minimum age is 12 years. Please indicate your preference for the start time of your two hour paddle: 9am, 11am, 1pm or 3pm.

Matuku Link is a community conservation and education project in Bethells/Te Henga, restoring the wetland with plants from our own nursery, protecting the wildlife and a wetland education program. The Waitakere River flows through Matuku Link and into the unique Te Henga wetland.

The smell of a sausage sizzle (regular, vegan & GF) will await you when you arrive at our Sustainable Wetland Education Centre (aka “the barn”), with home baking, locally roasted coffee and cold drinks all for sale to provide you sustenance before or after your kayak tour.

Bookings required, no door sales! Last year this sold out within two weeks.
