The perfect way to spend a day exploring the best that Nelson has to offer

Duration

All Day

About

Grab your land Waka (bike) from the Gentle Cycling Company at Tahunanui Motor Camp (Tahuna Holiday Park 70 Beach Road, Tāhunanui, Nelson 7011) and after a short briefing and a 5 minute ride to the beach, you are ready to enjoy a one hour Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP) or Kayak hire from the gorgeous Tahunanui Beach and a paddle along Nelson’s iconic waterfront.

Calm and sheltered, with easy access to Fifeshire Rock and Haulashore Island, paddling at Tahuna is easy for everyone.

Following your Paddle Nelson experience, it’s back on the bike to enjoy the rest of the day (3+ hours) exploring more what our awesome little city has to offer. Time cycling with spectacular views on the Great Taste Trail awaits. Follow the trail out to the local wineries and artisan breweries which are located within an easy cycling distance.

Your time is your own to enjoy a nice lunch or a tour of Pics Peanut Butter (bookings essential) before returning to the Gentle Cycle Company base to drop back ya wheels, or continue out to Mapua for a shuttle home. Optional upgrade for an E-bike is available too.

Paddling

If the wind is too strong to be safe on the ocean, we will contact you in advance to move your booking.

We ask that you are comfortable in the water before hiring from us, and all equipment that you need for a great time is provided.

Please arrive on your bike 10 minutes early to kit up, sign in and be briefed.

Bikes can be left with us at Paddle Nelson whilst you are on the water.
