Awesome Adventures Hokianga

Dec 27th, 2022

We went out on the jet skis as a whnau. Our youngest was 8, and eldest in their 40s and we all had the best time! Quick run down of rules and driving instructions, and then we were off racing and doing donuts on the Hokianga Harbour. Upon returning our life jackets back to Lennys, he had prepared smoked fish and hot chips for our whnau, and invited us in to eat. Such an awesome man (as well as his family) with a huge heart who gives a lot to make sure customers/guests feel welcomed, and feel of the manaakitanga that he (and his family) has. We left feeling like whnau.

We were a group of adults who were looking at doing some activities while we were up in the Hokianga. We found Awesome Adventures Hokianga (AAH) and formed an instant connection through genuine conversation with them. The packages they have on offer are very affordable as well as educational BUT for me their manaaki/give hospitality to, was priceless. The way they CARED and CONNECTED with us, made us feel at home (they even invited me into their own home - when returning their life vest and offered me a drink and kai/food). I personally will be booking AAH for when I take my whanau/family up to re-connect. As a team we will be looking at ways to get the rangatahi we work with involved in this experience. There is a Maori proverb that sums up my thoughts: Manaaki whenua, manaaki tangata, haere whakamua - Care for the land, care for the people, go forward.
