No, you don&#39;t. These kayaks are very easy to use for all skill levels. You also get a basic tutorial before you get out on the water.

However, you will need to have a moderate level of fitness for your own personal comfort and enjoyment.

These kayak tours are held in calm waters and you are provided with a Personal Floatation Device (life jacket) so there is no requirement to be able to swim.

If weather conditions are adverse and The Supplier needs to reschedule your tour, they will work with you to arrange a new date that suits. The Supplier takes rain, wind, temperature, lake levels and river flow into consideration before making any decision to postpone.

Join a relaxing family-friendly adventure to witness the natural scenery of New Zealand you can only experience by kayak. Paddle slowly up the Pokaiwhenua Stream, through the spectacular canyon that has been carved out by water over hundreds of years and over the submerged Horahora village.

&nbsp;

Your 3-hour kayaking&nbsp;tour&nbsp;begins at the base on Horahora Road as you paddle out along the southern edge of Lake Karapiro.&nbsp;Your experienced local guide will take you&nbsp;over the submerged village and power station that produced electricity for the early Waihi goldfields.

&nbsp;

Enjoy the serenity as you learn about&nbsp;Horahora&rsquo;s unique history, before heading into the&nbsp;Pokaiwhenua canyon. Take in the beauty of the towering canyon walls as native ferns &amp; trees drape over you and&nbsp;be surrounded by bird life.

&nbsp;

This guided adventure is perfect for families and groups who want a relaxing time out on the lake.&nbsp;To ensure space is available on this popular tour&nbsp;- advanced bookings are essential.
