Free kayak tour in Okura!
In support of the battle to protect the Long Bay Okura Marine Reserve and its surrounding area, Canoe & Kayak North Shore are donating free kayak trips in the marine reserve in the month of October. Just donate $50 for adults and $25 for children (under 18) to the Long Bay Great Park Society through their Givealittle page to qualify for your freebie.
This kayak tour is just 20 minutes from downtown Auckland in the Long Bay – Okura Marine Reserve, bordered by protected native bush and regional council reserves, historic buildings, pa sites and natural wonders.
Many rare NZ seabirds can be seen and heard including NZ Dotterel, Variable Oystercatchers and Bar-tailed godwits. Flying mullet and stingrays are often sighted in the shallows of the Okura Estuary and Karepiro Bay, as they cruise under your kayak. Myrtle and Turtle, two resident stingrays, are regularly seen feeding off Dacre Cottage.
Come and enjoy a rare glimpse of what New Zealand was like in the old days. Phone or email with your qualifying code from your Givealittle donation to book your tour.

Dental Implants
A successful Dental Implant Placed by Dr Martin J Cribbin at CM Dental ltd in Henderson, replacing a lower left molar which had fractured and could not be root filled.
Where there is sufficient bone the dental implant can offer a better solution than bridge work as there is no damage to the teeth adjacent by cutting them down to create space for the bridgework.
