Eke te waka! - Board the canoe! Experience first-hand sailing on an ocean-going migration canoe built like the ones that brought the first settlers to Aotearoa-New Zealand 800 years ago and learn about navigating across the vastness of the Pacific Ocean before the days of compasses, let alone GPS!
Choose from one of our regular sailings or arrange a custom sail for yourself, family and friends, workplace, conference or incentives programme from our base at the Voyager New Zealand Maritime Museum next to Princes Wharf, Auckland (click here for map).
Take one (or both) of these experiences on the waka from the Voyager New Zealand Maritime Museum on the inner Waitemata Harbour:
-
Sail 1: “In Kupe’s Wake” - two hours cultural experience with hands-on sailing -
Sail 2: “Wayfinding 101” - one hour introduction to traditional navigation
Whether it is for a conference, an incentive programme, a school or college group, your workmates, or simply some time on the water for family and friends, talk to us about customising a sailing especially for you.

Each year Te Aurere takes part in the celebrations at Waitangi on February 6th. This voyage is now the centrepiece of our overnight sail programme. Further examples will be introduced over the coming months.
Arawai offers team building experiences for new teams to help develop cohesion and for existing teams to refresh and deepen their collaboration. Experiences are customised to meet the interests, capacities and intent of each group.
