ADVENTURES WITH MAUAO ADVENTURES

2-HOUR PADDLE-BOARD ADVENTURES FOR SENIOR STUDENTS

With our senior students, we can offer different locations to venture out and explore! We can take our SUP Adventures to different locations, including:

WAIKŌRIRE, PILOT BAY
TE PAPA - THE STRAND TO MEMORIAL PARK
MOTUOTAU (RABBIT ISLAND)
MATAKANA ISLAND
WAIROA RIVER
LAKE MCLARENS FALLS
OTŪMOETAI
RANGATAUA


As we explore the waterways, we will continue to develop technical paddling skills while sharing stories of local and cultural significance. Students are likely to experience moments where resilience, endurance and initiative are involved! With our trusted guides to support them, they can build their confidence, get out of their comfort zone and into the outdoors!

We can tailor our experiences to provide a range of different learning outcomes to meet your teaching requirements from bio-mechanics to outdoor education. 

Create an itinerary with us and we’ll offer flexibility in our session plan and are happy to negotiate costs! Whether you book in for 1/2-day or full-day experience, we can tailor our service to suit your needs!
