About the event

Every year, the Bar-tailed Godwits (Kuaka) complete an astonishing 12,000 km non-stop journey from Alaska to New Zealand. Flying at an average speed of 55 km/h, they cover this distance in just 8-9 days. We think that’s worth celebrating! 🐦


Restoring Takarunga Hauraki invites you to join us in welcoming these incredible travellers with a community picnic and fun activities for all ages. 

Bring your friends, family, and a picnic to enjoy. If you’d like, feel free to bring a plate to share at our communal picnic table—completely optional!

If you have any group games or musical instruments you would like to play with family and friends, bring those too. 


Date: Sunday, 10th November

Time: 11:30 AM - 2:30 PM (High tide: 3:00 PM)
