There’s no better way to experience Maori Culture firsthand than by joining a 45-minute waka paddle on the Avon River. Jump in a handcrafted waka and get settled in for a gentle cruise down the river to discover over 180 years of Maori history. Learn how the Canterbury Ngai Tahu iwi and early European settlers worked together to create the city that is now known as Christchurch.

The Avon River was a significant transport and trade route used in Christchurch's history. Listen to fascinating cultural stories, local legends and sneak in a little exercise during this transforming 45 minute Waka Paddle on the Avon River. Your Waka paddling experience will depart from Margaret Mahy Playground in Christchurch.
