A paddle carved in the tradition of Ngāpuhi

The waka hoe (paddle) is more than a tool of navigation — it is a taonga that embodies the strength, skill, and whakapapa of those who have journeyed across Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa. This waka hoe is carved in the distinctive Ngāpuhi style, one of Aotearoa’s most celebrated carving traditions, known for its flowing koru forms and intricate surface detail.

Crafted from rimu — a prized native New Zealand timber — and presented with a wall mount and awe (feather decoration), this piece is as much a work of art as it is a cultural statement. Display it proudly in your home, marae, or workspace as a lasting connection to Māori heritage.

Includes:

  • Hand-carved native wood waka hoe
  • Wall mount
  • Awe (feather decoration)

Every waka hoe is one of a kind

No two waka hoe are ever the same. Each piece is carved individually, guided by the whakapapa and kaupapa of the person it is made for. The patterns, forms, and details woven into the carving carry meaning — they tell a story that is uniquely yours.

Contact us before purchasing. This is not just a product — it is a taonga created for you. We ask that you get in touch with us first so we can kōrero about your whakapapa, your kaupapa, and what you would like this piece to represent. Only then can we begin carving something truly meaningful.

Handcrafted in Aotearoa New Zealand by Māori Ora.
