Pacific Vaka Voyagers land in Aotearoa - Marumaru Atua

Check out the highlights from the historical landing of the Pacific vaka in Okahu Bay on Sunday 7th December!

Following the traditional navigating systems of our ancestors, six voyaging waka from around the Pacific made their way onto Auckland's Ōkahu Bay in a celebration of Pacific unity and environmental issues. A day full of yummy food and sharing our Pacific heritage with family and friends, these vaka warriors deserve a well-earned rest after spending 3 months on the sea!
