This trip is perfect for less-confident paddlers easing their way into paddling after a break. This trip is open to members but is also the last river day of the beginner river course. There will be instruction is you want it. There are lovely views of bush-clad hills from both these rivers. Which river we paddle depends on flows on the day.
For the Rai River, we put in below Rai Falls and take out at Totara Flat picnic area below the Pelorus confluence. There are some fun optional play spots such as Rai Falls (1.5m high) and a shingle slide into the river - most people really enjoy these. If we paddle the Pelorus, we put in at Tinline Creek about 13km upstream of Pelorus Bridge, and take out at Totara Flat picnic area.
Meet at the club gear containers on Akersten St at Port Nelson (map on website) at 9am. We usually get back in Nelson at about 6pm.
