A waka is a Maori canoe... The Maori are believed to have travelled to Aotearoa (Maori name for New Zealand) in waka (canoes) from the islands of eastern Polynesia. Tall totara and kauri trees enabled Maori to build bigger waka. These waka could be over 25 meters and could carry over one hundred people.

The glass waka on our site are hand moulded and hand-etched with Maori design, like the koru (representing new life, new beginnings, growth, movement. Also the fern is handetched on some of the waka. The fern is also a well-known New Zealand symbol.

The waka make a wonderful gift and represent your journey in life...

The waka are available in different colours:
black, orange/red, yellow, lime, lagoon, emerald, jade,
turquoise, aquamarine, cobalt, pale cobalt (no more clear ones).
