Fabulous paddling in Pilot Bay
We had a wonderful time paddle-boarding with Ange as our instructor. Easy to find the location in Pilot Bay. We have never been before but Ange's quick lesson was perfect. We were off in no time. We stopped on the beach where we had a snack and Ange spoke about Mount Maunganui and it's Maori significance. Overall good value and would recommend!
