The Bay of Islands, home of Ngapuhi and Taiamai Tours. Our interactive Waka experience provides a rare and unique insight into our ancient customs, rituals and traditions.
Join Taiamai Tours on our Waka and we promise you will leave us with memories that will stay with you forever. Meet with local Ngapuhi whose traditional knowledge and story telling skills are legendary in the Bay of Islands.
Our ancient histories and stories are shared with you as we paddle together aboard our traditional 50 ft Waka Taua (Maori War Canoe) on the tidal estuaries of the Waitangi River.
Departing from the Waitangi Bridge, our Qualmark endorsed Waka voyages are a perfect combination of eco and interactive cultural experiences. We confidently stand by our claim that Taiamai Tours are:
The best Maori cultural experience in Northland!!!
