GNZTR - Great New Zealand Touring Route

We are all local people with a love & an in-depth knowledge of the region. We share with you the stories of our people, history & culture & ensure you have a truly memorable experience!

We offer epic stories of the region’s voyaging history & its Māori ancestors without leaving the harbour. Take a journey through time with our local storytellers while on board the waka.

Or enjoy learning traditional sailing & wayfinding skills out in the bay, either sit and enjoy at your own leisure, or learn to man the “hoe” -steering paddle, hoist the sails & tack!
