Description (A description of the tour – as if you were selling the idea to someone)

Explore the headwaters of the Waitemata Harbour as you paddle to the historic Riverhead Tavern. 

Just 31 km from central Auckland lays the settlement of Riverhead. Riverhead grew from the boom of the 19th century Kauri-gum and logging industry, and was once the gateway to the north operating as the Auckland terminus of the railway. 

This journey culminates at the historic Riverhead Tavern. Thought to be New Zealand's oldest riverside pub, the Riverhead Tavern holds NZ's second oldest liquor license. Steeped in local history it is the perfect place to wet your whistle at the end of the paddle
