Pohara Boat Club

Pohara Boat Club is located on New Zealand's South Island, in Golden Bay / Mohua at the northwest end of the island. The club is situated in Port Tarakohe, close to tourist attractions like Tata Beach, Abel Tasman National Park – with a 60 km long coastal track that leads to several bays with sandy beaches, and Te Waikoropupu Springs – the largest freshwater springs in New Zealand that hold a special significance to the Maori people, the country’s original inhabitants. From Pohara you can easily reach the town of Collingwood and the bird sanctuary of Farewell Spit. Situated at the western end of State Highway 60, Collingwood is a quiet town that offers a large variety of activities for nature lovers. From here you can explore the Heaphy Track in the Kahurangi National Park or the beautiful Aorere Valley; kayak or paddle around Ruataniwha Inlet. Other local activities include studying minerals at Rockville, horse treks along Wharariki Beach, where there’s a seal colony, or visiting the Rawhiti Caves in Golden Bay.
