The waka ama (traditional outrigger canoe) was created in 1997 and is a maori canoe carved out of a single log with an outrigger which makes it easy to paddle. This waka was created over a period of ten months. The main hull is carved from poplar. However we also now have a new waka which was launched in autumn 07. It seats 6 and is now used for voyages from the Marahau river mouth.

There are sunrise, day and sunset trips. Trip details and departure times are available at our Gallery.
