Tracks

Track 1: Around Mt Paku

Time: 1 hour (2 hours return)

Length: 3km (6km return)

Difficulty: Intermediate - Expert (depending on the swell)

Best Time: low swell and winds.

Notes: very nice scenery and best done on a calm day with little swell. One of the coolest tracks in the area with awesome marine life and rock formations along the way. A short walk from the surf beach back to the shop may be required during low tide for the one way track.

Track 2: One way bridge

Time: 45min return

Length: 2.5km return

Difficulty: Beginnner

Best Time: high tide

Notes: This is the perfect beginner track - the water is very shallow and you can stand if you fall off. This carries on to the Pepe Stream which is usually sheltered from the wind and can be followed a long way up.

Track 3: Pauanui Beach

Time: 1 hour minimum return

Length: 2km minimum return

Difficulty: Intermediate - Expert (depending on the swell)

Best Time: any

Notes: Great for playing in the waves. Keep an eye out for strong currents in the main channel.

Track 4: Pauanui Waterways

Time: 2 hours minimum return

Length: 8km return

Difficulty: Intermediate

Best Time: high tide, light winds

Notes: Leave at least one hour before high tide to get the current going the same way, making things much easier. Light winds and high tide are preferred but can be done in all tides and weather.

Track 5: Tairua River

Time: 2 hours one way

Length: 10km one way

Difficulty: Beginnner

Best Time: offshore winds and outgoing tide. Not recommended during storms and after heavy rain.

Notes: Beautiful down river track if timed right, requires minimal effort with the wind and the current doing most of the work. Stunning fresh water and views make this trip a must do.

Track 6: Shoe Island

Time: 3 hours return

Length: 11km return

Difficulty: Expert
