Description

Wāhine on Water – Free Ocean Adventure Programme for Girls Aged 10–25 in Hibiscus and Bays.

This particular event will take place in Browns Bay and will be for Single and Giant Paddleboarding

There are two session times for the event.

MERC is proud to partner with the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board to deliver the exciting Wāhine on Water programme — an empowering ocean experience designed for girls aged 10-25 living in the Hibiscus and Bays area (Waiwera to Campbells Bay).

This free programme invites young women to connect with the ocean through fun, confidence-building sessions that foster community, adventure, and a deeper connection to our beautiful local beaches.

We are offering 10 action-packed events from November 2026 to April 2027, that will get participants to explore ocean and land-based activities — kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, giant SUP, and sailing — held across the Hibiscus and Bays local board area!

No prior experience is needed — all equipment and safety gear are provided. Just bring your togs, a towel, and an adventurous spirit!

Each session will be led by MERC’s experienced Wāhine outdoor leaders, creating a safe, supportive, and empowering space for women, run by women.

Tickets for good, not greed Humanitix dedicates 100% of profits from booking fees to charity

Since 1990, MERC has been a trusted not-for-profit charity (CC29903) dedicated to transforming lives through marine-based environmental education and outdoor adventures. Nestled beside the ocean at the southern end of Long Bay Beach in Auckland — right at the interface of the Long Bay–Okura Marine Reserve and the Long Bay Regional Park — we invite learners of every age, stage and ability to connect with Aotearoa’s marine environment in meaningful ways.

At MERC we believe that discovery, leadership and sustainability go hand-in-hand. Whether it’s a school group exploring rocky shores, a corporate team bonding through paddle craft, a family making memories by the sea, or the community stepping outside its usual environment, our programmes are designed to challenge, inspire and instil a deeper appreciation for the ocean and its ecosystems.
