For future generations
AWA is owned by Tauhara North No 2 Trust. We are a dynamic Māori business leader, passionate about our whānau, our whenua, and our whakapapa.
Honouring the Taiao
AWA celebrates our history, generates employment, and honours the taiao (natural environment) with thrilling adventure experiences that are also generous and genuine.
Genuine Connection
AWA is a tourism operation that connects manuhiri (visitors) with genuine stories of the land, creating an experience and gifting stories that will be carried and treasured.
