THE BEST SO FAR

How I get to the river. A trustworthy Toyota Carib. Cheap to run and easy on the environment also! Not bad looking with a kayak on the roof too.



After paddling the Arthur River that flows into the Milford Sound you have to paddle across the Sound to get back to the get out. Just make sure you get a boat to take you across to prevent didimo contamination from the Cleddau River.



The Ngakawau River has a beautiful walk in. The put in to the run is marked by the Mangatini Falls. Unfortunately the falls themselves are un-runnable.



Kakapotahi River on the Westcoast of NZ. Amazing upper section to be run with equally amazing scenery.



The Mokihinui is a must for those who have not been there. This photo will not be possible if the Mokihinui dam go's ahead!!



The Lower Buller Gorge is a stunning place and the kayaking in the uper section is great also. (Background image of Photo-Boater blog - Howie Wilson 2009)
