Water Wandering
Come along and spend Sunday morning exploring the Long Bay-Okura Marine Reserve with us. Designed for ladies 19 & up, Sunday Sessions integrate learning with connecting to our marine environment. In this four-hour session we will go on an adventure in the moana that incorporates skills and socialisation. Activity facilitation is designed to build confidence and competence on the water whilst having fun. A mix of water sports will be on offer dependent on wind and sea state. Activities could include sea kayaking, sailing or paddle-boarding.
Knowledgeable female leaders from the Sir Peter Blake Marine Education and Recreation Centre will support you to take part, gain new skills and knowledge in a range of adventurous water activities. No experience is necessary, the most important thing to bring is a positive attitude and an open mind. Whether you are a complete beginner or a seasoned expert, all water-loving women are invited.
What's Included
All necessary equipment and gear will be provided for the activities. Food is not provided. Bring along your togs, towel wetsuit (if you have one), water bottle and snacks.
