Kayaking the Kerikeri Inlet

14 February, 2016

Although Kerikeri is on the water, it's a wide river inlet rather than a beachy place.

A great way to explore Kerikeri is by kayak, on the Kerikeri Inlet - and it looks very different from the water than from the land! We launched our kayaks at Waipapa Landing - this is a good all-tide launching spot, with a concrete boat ramp, plenty of parking and also a toilet block.

A couple of years ago I was asked to photograph @boi_farmers_market and its stallholders. You might recognise Brett from @avoman_superfruit, @blueriverorchard and Helen from Puriri Ridge Eggs.
