About the Raglan Harbour
With over 122 kms of coastline the Whaingaroa (Raglan harbour) is a nationally recognised conservation area with more than 2 million trees planted over the past 10 years, a designated bird sanctuary and stunning geologic features ranging from limestone formations overlain by volcanic basalts, clays and pumices. The skipper and crew are extremely knowledgeable and present all our local history. Relax and be at one with the bird and marine life in their habitat.
About the Waka Huia
While "Waka" means canoe, "Huia" is a treasured bird with twelve feathers in its tail fan. To our Maori ancestors, each tail feather of the Huia represented one of the twelve heavens. Maori kept the treasured Huia feathers in small, intricately carved wooden boxes with a figurehead adornment similar to those on boats. Accurately translated, "Waka Huia" means "treasure box".
Waka Huia is a 9m amphibious RIB (Rigid Inflatable Boat) from the New Zealand boat maker Sealegs. She has a 300hp outboard engine and can carry 11 passengers and 1 skipper.
