Description
Step back in time at Avana Point, the historic departure site where Maori ancestors set off in their canoes (vaka) to migrate to Aotearoa New Zealand. A memorial with commemorative stones honours each vaka that left these shores, marking a significant moment in Polynesian history. Beyond its cultural importance, Avana Point is also a peaceful spot for sunrise views and a great location for stargazing due to minimal light pollution.
Highlights
- Historic site of the Maori migration to New Zealand
