Guided Kayak Tours

Get out on the water with Canoe & Kayak Waikato!

We regularly take groups of people down the Waikato River. This tour is called the 'City Bridges River Tour'. We provide everything for the tour, highly qualified guides, all kayaking equipment and safety gear, transport by arrangement and best of all, an amazing experience!

Here's what some people have said about our tours.

Want something a bit more magical? Get a group together (friends, family, workmates) and do our Guided Glow Worms Night Time Kayak Tour. Get up close and personal with these cool little bugs. Children love this tour!
We start by meeting at the shop around 5.30pm, then travel to our secret location. Then we kayak across a lake and up a stream to see the glow worms. No experience is needed, our guides stay with you the whole time and are always there to answer any questions to help you out. You will need a group of 3 people at the least.

Tour Costs:
$70 per adult
$40 per child (6 - 14 years old)

If none of those tours take your fancy give us a call and we can organise a different tour for your group. Visiting one of the many magical spots around the Waikato is a great team building excercise or as a special treat for employees or school classes, do something different this year!
