Groups and corporates

A team day that actually works

Flat water, a fixed route and no experience needed make the Puhoi River unusually good for groups. Everyone gets afloat, nobody gets left behind, and there is nothing to fall off.

We host corporate teams, family gatherings, birthday groups, social clubs and community organisations. Because the river is tidal, the whole group moves together along the same stretch of water.

Why it suits teams

Flat, forgiving water for mixed fitness levels
Singles and doubles, so pairs can share a kayak
The tide does the paddling, so nobody tires out
Charter options for exclusive use

Schools

Kayaking for schools and EOTC programmes

The Puhoi River is a long-established outdoor education trip: a real journey, a managed environment, and a route students can complete themselves.

We can discuss kayaks, paddles and buoyancy aids, a safety briefing and arrangements for groups. Get in touch to plan the details for your class.
