Did you know Auckland’s Māori name, Tāmaki Makaurau, means "Tāmaki desired by many"? This name reflects the abundance of natural resources, strategic location, and rich cultural history that first attracted Māori, and later many others. 🌊🐟

From the beauty of Rangitoto to the thriving birdlife and iconic maunga, it’s easy to see why Auckland has always been a place people want to call home.

Rangitoto Island - A Place of Ancestral Stories

Many place names in Aotearoa (New Zealand) reflect the rich histories of our tūpuna (ancestors). Rangitoto translates to `Bloody Sky`, with its full name, Ngā Rangi-i-totongia-a Tama-te-kapua, meaning "The days of the bleeding of Tama-te-kapua." This name recalls the story of Tama-te-kapua, captain of the Arawa waka, who was badly wounded after losing a battle to the Tainui iwi at Islington Bay.

Come explore Rangitoto Island and learn it`s rich history on one of our guided tours!

As we celebrate Te Wiki o te Reo Māori, let’s explore Motukorea (also known as Browns Island) in the Hauraki Gulf.

The name Motukorea combines “motu”, meaning island, with “korea” or “torea”, meaning oystercatcher. This island remains a vital habitat for these coastal birds, as well as for the threatened New Zealand dotterel. 🐦🌿

Motukorea is one of the best-preserved volcanoes in the Auckland volcanic field and is only accessible via private vessel. Discover its unique history and natural beauty with us! #TeWikiOTeReoMāori #Motukorea #AucklandSeaKayaks #MāoriCulture

🌊 Te Wiki o te Reo Māori: Celebrating Place Names in Tāmaki Makaurau 🌿

Throughout the week, we’re uncovering the stories of place names that are significant to both our journeys and our connection to Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland).

Today, we explore the Hauraki Gulf / Tīkapa Moana Marine Park.
Hauraki translates to "north wind" – a name that reflects how the gulf is only exposed to open sea from the north. Hau means wind, and raki means north. 🌬️

According to Māori legend, Ureia, a taniwha in the form of a whale, protects these waters. 🐋

Let’s embrace the rich history of these beautiful places together! #TeWikiOTeReoMāori #TīkapaMoana #HaurakiGulf #AucklandSeaKayaks
