Family day on the Hoki River

The kayaking population in Hokitika seems to have exploded in the past couple of years, as a made breeding frenzy has taking grip on the paddling population. Dave takes his turn a babysitting while Heather spends the day Heli boating on the Hokitika River. We took both Heathers and Coopers family up for a day rafting through the spectacular Hokitika gorge.



JJ shows us that he is a real natural when it comes to children.





Pete and Karren, who have been putting me up for the past few weeks at Pete´s Hokitika Palace. The only rules are that he has to win at the poker table.......although that doesn´t seem to take much effort!





Dave and Sussie.




Heather and Sussie.




Hamish and Joan climb on board with Dando to head up the river.





Cooper guides the crew through the gorge.





Shortly before Karren and Hamish abandoned ship. If you look closely you can see the fear in their eyes!
