Cruise within the Kaipara | Home Education Foundation

I have an email from Lisa who is the leader of the Kaipara Homeschool Group she is organising a cruise within the Kaipara. They need more adults to make the cruise a child-friendly one.

I have been speaking to the organiser, Gaye Somers, and she is offering to give us a special deal for the homeschool group. Instead of being $35 per adult it would be $30 per adult, and children 5 to 14 yrs $12 instead of $15. Children 0-4 are free. The date would be Wednesday the 22nd October 11am – 2pm. BYO lunch. We would need at least 30 paying adults (they take 100 passengers) and then we could have the boat just for our group and then the commentary would be tailored to the needs of the children. The trip would only go for just over 3 hours instead of 4 hours so it is doable for kids.

The cruise features:

Old Kauri Mill Sites

Maori Pa Sites

NZ’s largest inland river systems

Working oyster and mussel farms

Remote Historic Settlements

Takahoa Bay

Historic 1860 Batley Hotel

Many bays and inlets accessible only by boat

Birdlife, ecology, nature and historic cruise

Informative commentary as the sites as passed by

The deadline is this Sunday – we have 14 adults so far.

Thanks so much.

Kind regards,
