Wairoa River Kayak Clean Up

Join us for a rewarding day giving back to nature with our Wairoa River Clean Up, part of the Sustainable Backyards initiative! From 10am–1pm, we’ll work together to care for our local river and surrounding environment. After the clean up, enjoy two hours of free time in Waimarino Adventure Park as a fun reward for your efforts. Relax, play, and celebrate making a difference! A gold coin donation to the Waimarino Education Trust is appreciated but not required. Bring your friends, family, and community spirit for a day of connection, conservation, and adventure by the beautiful Wairoa River.

When: Friday 13th March, 10am

Where: Waimarino Adventure Park, 36 Taniwha Place, Bethlehem, Tauranga

Tickets: Free, however a gold coin donation will be appreciated as this will go towards Waimarino Education Trust to help them reach more Tamariki for outdoor education programs

Weather: This event will go ahead if it rains, however if the wind levels pick up or we think there’ll be thunder/lightening we’ll cancel it for safety reasons.
