"We have been advised to cancel the event.  This has been a hard decision to make and we are very disappointed but -the most important thing is everyone’s health and wellbeing.

We are looking at a date later in the year and will keep all paddlers informed.

We will give full refunds – please email us on [email protected] with the date you paid the money, the amount and your bank details.

We hope to see you all again in a few months time."

Nga mihi. The Bay of Islands Waka Festival Team
