The statue commemorates when Wairaka, a Maori chieftess, saved her tribe's canoe from being taken out to sea. The town of Whakatane was named after the event. Wairaka, yelled "Whakatane," meaning "act like a man" to give her and the other women the strength to save the canoe from the rising tide. Seeing it at sunrise is a great photo opportunity too!

Top Whakatane Hotel Reviews

The Com Plex Motel

10/10 Excellent

"The room was modern and clean. The staff were lovely and very helpful with all our odd requests. The unit had everything we needed and more. The location was great because it was so close to Whakatane city center and close to the road going to Ohope when we wanted to go to the beach. "
