Waka's are Māori watercraft, usually canoes ranging in size from small, unornamented canoes (waka tīwai) used for fishing and river travel, to large, decorated war canoes
Waka's are about 40 meters long and 130 feet long. Our Maori ancestors used Waka's i the old Ancient days. Waka's were used for boating across the sea, ocean and etc.
There Are 5 Different Waka's That Polynesians Use
- Waka - In New Zealand
- Waka Taua - The largest Waka
- Waka TeTe -Fishing Canoes
- Mokihi - Water Rafts
- Waka Tawai - River Canoes*
In Polynesia, waka were narrow and not very stable, because they were carved from narrow trees. Some canoes had outriggers at the side to keep them steady.
