Tai Awa Waka Ama Manatōpū

Guided by the value system of Te Awa Tupua, we are committed to the wellbeing of our community through Waka Ama.

Our charitable purpose is to provide accessible, safe, and empowering paddling opportunities that foster intergenerational connection, cultural identity, physical and mental health, and tiakitanga. We aim to cultivate an inclusive whānau environment where tamariki, rangatahi, pakeke and kaumātua can grow in confidence, skill, wellbeing and a sense of belonging.
