Paddle to the Pub
Riverhead Tavern
**Outdoor Discoveries "Paddle to the Pub Kayak Trips" will be kayaking up to the Albany Pub due to the Riverhead Tavern being closed for renovations. The Albany trip will still start/finish at the same location and runs along the same guideline. Please contact us for more information. The Riverhead Tavern will re-open in October.We apologise for any inconvenience.
Our most popular trip! A kayaking trip to the Riverhead Tavern is the perfect trip for groups and novices.
This trip is very scenic, sheltered and a perfect trip for a group of friends or work colleagues.
It is usually not difficult to motivate people when the word "pub" is involved!
Being close to Auckland (starts and finishes at Herald Island), sheltered and with varied scenery, we highly recommend this trip. Food can be ordered at the pub which you can enjoy while drinking an ale or two.
The trip can be run after work, during the day or at weekends, but is tide dependent. Or they can be run as a one-way trip for those groups who want to stay on at the pub. But remember don't drink too much at the pub to avoid becoming a "D-I-C-K" - Drunk In Charge of Kayak!!
