About Waimarino Water & Adventure Park
Waimarino was first established in 1975 by the current owners parents. With a vision to teach kayaking to people of all ages. With this vision in mind, a section along the Wairoa River’s edge was purchased. Barry and Barbara started operating with 6 kayaks in a small wooden shed. They soon became a successful education facility.
In 2003 Blair and, his wife Charlotte Anderson purchased the business in 2003 and became Waimarino Ltd. Barry & Barbara’s son, Blair developed parts of Waimarino beyond the original vision, opening up new ventures, expanding the grounds; and introduced exciting ways to learn and have fun with the sport of kayaking.
Waimarino Kayak Tours now operate in Tauranga and Rotorua, on The Wairoa River, Lake McLaren and Lake Rotoiti. With the main operations still based in its original location alongside the Wairoa River.
In 2011, The Waimarino Education Trust was created. The Trust provides After School Club, Holiday and Educational Programmes to New Zealand and International School Students. Most programmes based within the Waimarino Adventure Park.
The Waimarino Group has expanded rapidly and now incorporates The Waimarino Adventure Park, Waimarino Kayak Tours and Waimarino Education Trust.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Last weekend we did the kayak trip at McLaren Lake with a lovely tour guide called Chris (hopefully I remembered that correctly). Was a wonderful trip, good conversation, great scenery and a fun afternoon on the water. I highly recommend this trip to all.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Really awesome day spent out there, heaps of things too do...
Would recommend having a couple more ladders on the pontoon, just has the one right at the end and a studier ladder on the UFO, is quite hard to pull yourself up...

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This was one of those tourist activities that I wasn't sure would warrant my time but I was wrong (yet again). After a short drive in the minibus with Josh our guide and with Kayaks in tow we arrived at McLaren falls. Josh got some drinks and snacks ready for us whilst he unloaded the kit. The river ride (we were in the 2 seater kayak) was very rewarding and the fading twilight made it quite dramatic but the glow-worms (Māori name is titiwai, meaning ‘lights reflected in water’, and their scientific name, Arachnocampa luminosa, translates to ‘bright spider-worm’) were fantastic. Josh was a fountain of knowledge, honesty and humour and this adventure is right up there with the best of the glow-worm tours. I can totally see why this is such a hit with the cruise ship passengers. Thank you.
