Canoeing

Canoeing in New Zealand is definitely one of the top ways to explore this beautiful country.  Throughout NZ there are a number of canoeing safaris that you can tak . One of the most popular is up the Whanganui River where the only way to access the Whanganui National Park is by Canoe or foot.  Learning about Maori  culture while paddling along rivers they traveled along still in its natural state is an humbling experience.

There are three choices of water to canoe on, how about a paddle on one of New Zealand's many lakes, pop out into the ocean and explore some of the coastline and look at the marine life or as mentioned take a river safari.

Canoeing suits all ages from the young to the retired and you dont have to be an expert in fact beginners are more than welcome.
