The basic elements of  Arawai’s regular sailings are just the starting point for customised experiences on the waka for a conference, an incentive programme, a school or college group, you and your workmates, or simply some time on the water for family and friends.

The core elements of the experiences include:

1. sailing the waka
   

2. traditional wayfinding
   

3. Maori culture
   

4. waka design and construction
   

5. Pacific migration
   

These elements can be mixed and matched

to achieve the correct balance for any group

taking into account:

1. how active the guests are to be -
   

2. ranging from passengers to fully
   

3. participating sailors
   

4. how engaged the guests are to be -
   

5. ranging from sitting back and being
   

6. entertained to active learning.

Experiences can also be customised in terms of:

1. Timing: can be half day, evening, overnight, full day and multi-day
   

2. Food and beverages: includes contemporary Maori food, and hangi
   

3. Activities: includes both water-based and land-based activities
   

Experiences can vary from a easy sail and a meal on a secluded beach to hard-out sailing; and from an in-depth discussion of the waka as a tool in economic and social development. to an evening cruise up or down the harbour.  We can also bring along a diverse range of specialists covering everything from the birds you see out in the Gulf to traditional Maori musical instruments, as well as a range of entertainers.
