Stand up paddling adventures, waka ama sessions, guided cultural walks. Activities for locals and visitors, individual sessions to large group sessions! We also do stand up paddling lessons, and also have a store selling ocean gear and paddler wear. We paddle various locations across Tauranga and beyond, but our main base station for our ocean activities is Pilot Bay in beautiful Mt Maunganui.

Adams Ave in Mount Maunganui will be temporarily closed to vehicles from 5pm today as a precautionary measure.
Yeehaa out there today with Mt Inties. Changing things up while Wharekura/Matapihi/Tga Boys utilise the waka for a fun kura exchange. Instead of waka, we've got wharf bombs and and big SUP going🤙🏾🤙🏾
Our team settling the students and getting prepped for the day. Think of them from your warm offices 😅
Dan's cheeky grin at the end there 😜
Belmont School was back for another year with us today. 72 students, phew!! Appreciate our returning schools coming from out-of-town. Missing their ex-principal Bruce who let us know in 2025 that was his last year. Great man, reflected in the kura, teachers and kids
In the words of the Kaipara Lads, and many of our own kura kids - meanage as day whānau!! Hīkoi, waka and SUP with Mt Inties again 🫶🏾
Not the most enjoyable conditions to be in, cold SW winds, but Mt Inties are digging their heels in and getting it done! Ka mau te wehi!!
There's a karakia that acknowledges westerly and southerly winds, so that they may keep us alert and awake. Despite the conditions, it's very invigorating for the soul

Beautiful kai for a beautiful crew 😍 2nd day with Southwell School. Great to see some familiar faces. According to them, we've spent 9yrs with their kids, very grateful for their continued visits to us.
Hoki mai Southwell School!! A pleasure to have this kura back again all the way from Hamilton, 5th or 6th year with them, can't remember! They team us up with Waimarino and other local attractions, bringing their Yr 7 & 8 for 3 days of epic fun 🫶🏾
