A little about Puhoi River Canoe Hire Ltd

Owners Kate and George Freeman of Puhoi River Canoe Hire are extremely proud of their unique slice of Kiwi life. This well loved business has been operating for over 25years and is a favourite among locals and tourists alike.
They are living the Kiwi dream and are proud of the history of the valley and the Puhoi River. The original Bohemian pioneers were paddled up this waterway by local Maori in 1864 to settle in the Puhoi Valley. They now use the original landing site of those early pioneer ancestors to launch their kayaks for the leisurely kayak adventure meandering 8kms downriver from the Village to the Sea.

It is always a warm welcome at Puhoi River Canoes with the majority of customers being referred or repeats, it is a nice friendly environment. The Puhoi River is tidal and it is essential to book your kayaking to coincide with the tide times.  There is no deposit required when booking and you are not held to your booking on the weather, however, you will be charged on the day for the confirmed kayak numbers you have booked so it is important you are only booking what you require. All the kayaking that Puhoi Canoes offer on the river is unguided however they do provide some instruction and transport return to base if required.  Puhoi River Canoe Hire will not provide any onwater guide or take any responsibility for your group while on the water.  They do not hire kayaks to children under the age of 18yrs without adult supervision and cannot take any children under 3yrs.  Sorry No dogs.
 
The trips start with a summary of the kayaking operation, an explanation of the river and paddling instruction for those new or rusty paddlers. You are kitted out with a comfortable dry buoyancy vest, a river map, set up in your kayak and set off for your adventure. The Full River Adventure kayak trip from the Puhoi Historic Village to the Wenderholm Regional Park is 8km (2+hrs) of flat (no rapids or waterfalls!) tidal (always going with you) water. If you decide to go exploring you can extend the trip up to 10 or 12kms. You are met at the Wenderholm Park and transported (10mins) back to the village by courtesy shuttle. You can also hire kayaks for a 1hour kayak experience paddling in/around the Puhoi Village part of the river. 

Puhoi River Canoes have one of the largest hire fleets in New Zealand and have both single and double kayaks, Canadian Canoes, and have recently added inflatable stand-up paddleboards to their hire fleet. All are available for 1hr hire or the Full River kayaking adventure. The double kayaks will take 2 paddlers + 1 child passenger 3-5yrs and the Canadian Canoes will take 2 paddlers + 2 child passengers 3-8yrs or 3 teenage paddlers.  Our double kayaks are extremely stable and very comfortable and the best options for any adults with back issues.
