Why Waka Van?
Inspired by several backpacking trips in New Zealand, a country of Māori culture, we named our vehicle "Cali-Waka", to experience the VanLife in a WakaVan!
Waka:
The waka refers to the boat used by the Maori to travel from island to island on the Pacific Ocean.
The first settlers arrived in Aotearoa (New Zealand) aboard large waka (canoes) from Polynesia.
The journey could last up to a month and the waka were large enough to carry many people and enough food.
These ancient boats were probably double-hulled, much like two canoes side by side. Māori tribes trace their ancestry to these important waka.
The Māori once used waka, just as we use cars today. New Zealand's waterways were like roads, running along the coast and up rivers. Waka were paddled along these waterways, carrying people and goods.
The WakaVan is therefore a modern way of exploring lands in search of new horizons by adopting a way of life close to the rhythm of nature, like the Māori.
