It sleeps 6 people (3 rooms with bunks) and is fairly basic.
It overlooks the Puhoi river estuary and is only accessible by boat from
Wenderholm Regional Park. Read the description on the link above
carefully.
The plan is to explore the area and also just chill out. Shared evening
meals. Cost $70 per person.
Contact Jenny Tizard to check if there are spaces, ask any questions not
covered in the accommodation details on the link, and get payment
instructions.
I'll set up a WhatsApp group of people coming.

Note there is a vine house weekend on the same dates, so we could meet
up.

5:30 pm: Wednesday Paddle
– 30/10/2024
This paddle leaves from Ōkahu Bay boat ramp in front of the club’s storage shed at 5:30pm (on the water) every Wednesday. Everyone is welcome. We recommend that anyone joining the evening paddle has some experience or has attended a basic skills course.
The Sunday morning paddle sets off from the Okahu Bay boat ramp at 8am. The average time for the paddle is around 2 to 3 hours, and the distance is around 10km. This is a ‘keep fit, feel good’ kind of paddle.
The trip leader will plan a paddle that reflects the abilities of the group. If needed, he will run you through the basics of setting up, and getting in and out of the kayak.
This paddle is an excellent introduction to kayaking and the club, or just a nice way to have a gentle outing with other club members.

Auckland Canoe Club holds a range of events where we paddle and play together. Some events are just for members, but most are open to all. We encourage you to come along and see what we are about. If you like what you see, join the club!
On this trip I was keen to visit Tarahiki Island, which sits in the Firth of Thames east of Pakatoa. This photo of Tarahiki was taken several weeks earlier, (from Rotoroa Island).
Auckland Canoe Club has been part of the kayaking scene in Auckland since 1954. It has a proud history of helping its members have fun on the water and improve their paddling skills. The club’s main focus is sea kayaking in the waters of Tāmaki Makaurau but occasionally trips are also organised further afield.
Our members are active participants in all types of paddling experiences that get them out on the water, including exploration and camping, social meandering, expeditions, rescue training, rock gardening and surfing. The club offers a variety of events, trips and training sessions and is run by volunteers. The club’s home base is its storage shed on the Ōkahu Bay boat ramp on Tāmaki Drive, Auckland. This facility and the club’s hire fleet are available for members.
