Paddle Only

If the multisport solo or team option isn't your thing, you can still have a crack at only the paddle option. 

This scenic and sometimes challenging 12k paddle on Porirua Harbour and Puatahanui Inlet is open to Kayaks & Surf Skis, Outriggers and Waka-ama. 

Expected times 1hr to 2hrs.

It kicks off from Whitireia Boat Ramp and heads up Porirua Harbour, across the mouth and under Paratamata Bridge into Pauatahanui Inlet and then around to Browns Bay; and then back to Whitireia. It's a scenic and serene route, but with the odd sea breeze, sand bank, tidal eddies and harbour swells, you need your wits about you.

The paddle-only entry fee is per boat. So a multi-person boat pays the same as a single person boat!
