If you want to cross the inlet at low tide, be prepared to get wet up to waist height. if you want to stay dry there are plenty of areas to clean. I suggest wearing gumboots in case you want to walk out onto the sand flats as the tides goes out. All ages welcome and children must be supervised by an adult at all times.

Hopefully see you there and let’s make a difference.

Led by Mutumutu and Mukukai, kaitiaki of fresh and saltwater for Ngāti Toa, this exhibition aims to share the cultural values, knowledge and enduring relationship of Ngāti Toa, as kaitiaki mana whenua, to the interconnected water sources of this region. A focus is the urgent return to full health of the once teeming ecosystem of Te Awarua o Porirua, the largest estuary in the lower North Island, and all waterways that must continue to sustain life and wellbeing. The protection and care of these taonga is explored through narratives past and present to illustrate the effects of urbanisation and degradation.

Guided tour of newly installed signs along Te Awarua o Porirua with histories of Ngāti Toa Rangatira and Porirua.

There are two guided tours of six newly installed signs that form part of the Porirua Heritage Trails. Come along to hear information and stories relating to the history of Porirua and Ngāti Toa Rangatira.

Join us for a Springtime treat- a tour of ten gardens around the Pauatahanui Harbour.

The gardens are varied, from bijou suburban hideaways to a lifestyle block, and from an 1860s cottage garden to a modern design gem. They are testaments to the care and creativity of their owners.

Included is the iconic Heritage Rose Garden beside St Alban’s church in Pauatahanui, which features legacy and modern rose varieties around the burial ground.

Gardeners will be inspired by the experience – it will be an unforgettable day out.

Times – Gardens are open from 9.30am to 4.30pm on both days, except for the Pauatahanui Rose Garden/Burial Ground, which will be closed on Sunday morning until 1 pm..

Join Petone Beach Clean Up Crew and Keep Hutt Valley Beautiful for a beach clean-up on Sunday 5th October 2025 at the Porirua Inlet.
