The Kaimarama River flows gently into Mercury Bay, offering a serene setting for kayaking and exploring the lush native bush that lines its banks. Visitors can launch a kayak or canoe from several points along the river and drift through tranquil waters, observing birdlife and the verdant foliage. The river's slow current makes it suitable for beginners and families. Its proximity to Whitianga means it's an easy half-day trip for those seeking a quiet nature experience away from the busier coastal spots.
Don't miss
- Kayak through calm waters surrounded by native bush
- Spot native birds along the riverbanks
- Easy access from Whitianga for a half-day paddle
