We meet at our base in Waiuku then travel a short distance to the Waikato River Delta and head into the islands of the Waikato River Delta. These islands hide the dozens of duckshooters' maimais and whitebait stands that are inhabited by many keen locals during the open seasons.

There are a number of opportunities for photo stops throughout the trip - bring your camera (we can supply waterproof bags).

Our trip finishes at Hoods Landing near the old Awaroa Stream that was the portage route to the southern Manukau Harbour and later the town of Waiuku
