Tamaiti akona ki te kāinga, tū ana ki te ao, tau ana!

We are incredibly proud to acknowledge one of our amazing tour guides, Waikoru Wikaira, who has recently begun his university journey at the
University of Waikato.

From sharing our stories with passion and integrity to now pursuing his own aspirations, he continues to lead with dedication and heart. Watching our team grow beyond the mahi they do here is something truly special.

Your Manea whānau are proud of you always 🤍

Ramai Rapihana-Ngakuru, born and raised in Hokianga with ancestral ties to Ngāti Porou, Te Roroa, and Ngāpuhi. Rāmai has been part of the Manea whānau (family) since before we even opened our doors five years ago, making her our longest-serving guide. A true leader of Manea, she upholds our stories, values, and tikanga with pride and consistency. Driven by dedication and passion, she gives her all to ensure every tour is a memorable experience for each manuhiri who walks through our doors. We are grateful to have her as part of our team!
