About Us

We are a whanau-family business who are first and foremost passionate about our amazing culture and about caring for and sharing our two beautiful waka.
Kahukura and Tieke are two specially designed 24 seat waka tangata-peoples canoe- which have travelled through the rohe-district for the last two decades.
We remain dedicated to kaupapa waka- the tradition and ideology of waka within Maori culture- and to the education and empowerment of all who wish to learn.
