Favourite thing about being Tours Manager?
Supporting our skilled and experienced team to deliver an awesome experience both on and off the water gives me a great sense of achievement. Throughout my travels, I have not experienced a waka tour in any other capital city in the world so I love sharing this with our visitors.

Share one of your best experiences or tours while at Wharewaka o Pōneke
One of my favourite tours was taking the Fijian Rugby League team on tour.  Fantastic teamwork, athletic prowess and timing saw the waka move gracefully on the water.
