Auckland University Canoe Club is a whitewater club, affiliated to the University of Auckland, based at Gate 5, Merton Road, in Mission Bay, Auckland. It offers whitewater kayaking and rafting for all skill levels, from people who have never held a paddle to experienced paddlers who run grade 4 rivers and above. New members start with weekly pool training and beginner trips, and more experienced members can take on harder rivers. The club says it is one of the oldest canoe clubs in New Zealand, tracing its history to 1949. It has an online gallery of its own events, and it has taken part in community events such as the Flotilla on the Whau River, where members taught raft skills to local people.
