The Ounuora River is a favored destination for anglers and paddlers in the Coromandel region.

Kayakers enjoy the gentle rapids and clear waters, suitable for intermediate skill levels. The river's remote feel and unspoiled beauty provide a true escape into nature, with few crowds even during peak season.
