We pay total respect the people of the River – Ngāti Hinerangi – Ngāti Hinekiri, those who live now and those of years gone by. In 1999 Kaitiaki Adventures were the first and only company to approach the hapū of Ngāti Pikiao for permission to commercially operate on their awa (river). This was subsequently discussed and agreed upon – to this day we still operate commercially on the Okere Awa.
