My family, 2 parents, 2 young children, went on the Katakanu. It was our first time doing this and we enjoyed it a lot. My family had not done this kind of activity before and it was a great experience.

We hired kayaks for a family trip up to the White Swan. Only one of us had any kayaking experience but none of us fell in and we all had a great time. The pub stop was good food.
