Manea
Manea: Footprints of Kupe was developed from a vision held by local Kaumātua (senior tribal Elders) for preserving their heritage and sharing it with the world.
Explore Hokianga
Rich in Māori history and culture, the Hokianga is a remarkable region. It remains a relatively untouched corner of Aotearoa, from the ancient and giant Kauri of the Waipoua Forest to the majestic harbour. New Zealand’s human history began here – with the arrival of our ancestor Kupe some 1000 years ago.
Manea Footprints of Kupe is your opportunity to learn of his arrival in Aotearoa, New Zealand and share in his story. Meet Tāne Mahuta, Lord of the Forest with Footprints Waipoua.
