Can you find Ururangi, the star of the winds? Will your crew be ready for the voyage ahead? Use the Te Toki star compass to navigate like the great ocean voyagers and collect the knowledge needed for your journey.
Join NZ Maritime Museum for a hands-on adventure where tamariki become apprentice wayfinders! Build a cardboard waka, then set off on a journey through the museum to discover the nine stars of Matariki, learning knowledge and navigation along the way, and explore what the stars can teach us about food, weather, family, and the sea.
Discover the full Matariki ki te Manawa 2026 programme, here.
