Paddling near Hastings, Hawke's Bay
Hastings sits in the heart of Hawke's Bay on the North Island's east coast, surrounded by several significant river systems. The Ngaruroro, Tukituki and Tutaekuri rivers are close to the city, while the Mohaka River to the north draws paddlers seeking whitewater. A dedicated sprint kayaking club operates locally, and a jet sprint track adds to the paddling infrastructure in the district.
