-- About this video –

Today we are joining some locals on a Waioeka River canoe trip. The Waioeka River runs into Opotiki and we start our Opotiki canoe trip in the Waioeka Gorge. This is a Bay of Plenty canoe trip that (at the moment) you can only do with locals. This is a great example of meeting locals in New Zealand. 

You may have heard of the Whanganui Journey - canoeing on the Whanganui River, well this canoe trip in New Zealand is an amazing alternative situated in the Bay of Plenty region. 

So what do you think of canoeing in New Zealand? Would you add canoeing in the Bay of Plenty to your Opotiki travel itinerary? LUK in the comments!
