Explore the mighty Waikato River




The Waikato River is the life blood of the region and a playground for jet boaters, kayakers, rowers and boaties who particularly enjoy getting out on the picturesque hydrolakes such as Lake Karapiro and Arapuni. Take in the river views on a relaxing walk, cycle or on a boat cruise, with multiple access points in the heart of Hamilton CBD.
