The Bay of Islands is home to Taiamai Tours heritage journeys and the Ngapuhi, New Zealand’s largest tribal Maori group. Our interactive Waka experience provides a rare and unique insight into our ancient customs, rituals and traditions.
We invite you to come and join us for it is only through involvement in our culture that you will gain a deeper understanding of who and what we really are. Our ancient histories and stories we share with you as we paddle our 40 ft Waka Taua (War Canoe) together on the tidal estuaries of the Waitangi River
Departing twice daily during the summer months, our Qualmark endorsed Waka voyages are a perfect combination of eco, spiritual and interactive experiences therefore it is from this position we confidently claim to be
Northlands premier Maori cultural tourism experience.....
"What makes your product so unique is the depth of the experience……… I can therefore truly say that your product is the best Maori tourism product I ever experienced in my 21 years of being a managing director in the New Zealand tourism industry……

Dear Hone,
I really just wanted to say a big thank you for all your kind hospitality and looking after me so well. It was so good to meet you and have the opportunity to talk to you and the whole experience has been invaluable for my job of nurturing and ultimately growing the business. I haven’t stopped talking about my wonderful afternoon with you and your family and still have my precious flower your wife made for me at home.
Thank you once again and I hope to see you again in May when you come to the UK.
Very best wishes,
Karen
