Tēnā koe Daniel.
Loved learning the story of Kupe and the significance of Hokiangi Harbour for the Māori people. Looking out beyond the sculptures to the sparkling waters and sun kissed sand dunes brought tears to my eyes. A spiritual and emotional experience. Thank you to our guides for their warm welcome to this special place
Tēnā koe, Maureen
