Unfortunately the water taxi is currently out of action. A new boat is being manufactured by another company and hopes to be in action in October. So for this trip we will walk from the carpark as far as we feel like and return. Those who are keen can go as far as the hot pool by the Wairau stream, about 20km return.. There will be an added charge due to current fuel prices so the van fee will be $20.
