Paddling on the Waikato River Journey

SNM helps protect the river as we see ourselves as guardians of the river on behalf of all stakeholders, bringing attention to look after our taonga, the Waikato River.

The Waikato river is rich in cultural heritage, so by activating this river in these ways, we help the health of the river as well.

Many users of, through, on, alongside or in the Waikato river get to gain another angle of this flowing force. As a paddling journey, we use Stand up Paddle boards and sea kayaks to and navigate our way along the river. It is an educational journey, educating people about the history of the 425km river, and invigorating their engagement with the land and each other.

Along sections of the river, we visit marae and hear from people of each river iwi, to find out how we connect with them and how they connected to the river. Paddlers also learn about the impact hydroelectric schemes on rivers and communities.
