Looking for an adventure?
This is not for the faint-hearted!
We are looking for a guy and a girl, 19 years and over, who want to join the Tuia 250 flotilla.
There is a place for a man on the Waka Ngahiraka Mai Tawhiti and a place for a woman on the HMB Endeavour.
The voyage departs from Mangonui on November 12 and sails for 11 days until it reaches Meretoto/Ship Cove where you will be part of the welcome to the region at the Pōwhiri on November 21. The next day will see you sail through Tōtaranui/Queen Charlotte Sound arriving to an enormous community welcome at Waitohi/Picton foreshore on November 22.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to take part in this historic event. You will be an ambassador for Tuia 250 and be part of the exciting activities happening in Marlborough commemorating 250 years since the first encounters between Māori and Pakeha.
Your duties may include cooking, cleaning, maintenance duties, rigging activities and watcher duties. You will also enjoy morning swims, tramps, wānanga, discussions, learn waiata, and participate in community engagement activities.
The Tuia 250 voyage will visit fifteen communities with a flotilla of dual heritage vessels including waka hourua, va’a moana (from Tahiti), and heritage tall ships to promote the exceptional feats of Pacific, Māori and European voyaging that brought us together.
Specific terms and conditions apply. Travel to departure point is not included. The successful applicants must be aged 19-years and over. Applications close 23 July.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
