1st March 2009: Canoeing on the Puhoi River

We drove over to Puhoi to go canoeing on the Puhoi River. We saw the cayaking setup there when we came though before, back in August, and have meant to come back ever since.

We picked up a two-person canadian canoe, and set off to explore the river. You can get a kilometre or so upstream before it becomes a bit fast-moving and you have to get back.  After another kilometre in the other direction you reach the estuary, and drift along through the mangrove swamp until you reach the sea. Good relaxing stuff for a Sunday afternoon.
