the kai moana experience - an ocean to plate, catch & cook adventure
As seen on Ep 2, Season. 1 of Manu and Colin’s ‘Off the Grid’ !!
A quick explanation for the visitor to Aotearoa NZ Kai = food, Moana - the ocean. Kaimoana = food from the ocean.
This experience is both for Kiwi’s wanting to really connect into good food, and visitors to this country alike.
There is nothing quite like fresh seafood cooked and eaten the day you caught it YOURSELF!
Depending on seasonality and where we go this might include, Crayfish, Shellfish, mussels, Oysters, Snapper, Kingfish and other Fish
Our mission is to give you a deeper appreciation and understanding of where food and wellbeing comes from. When you have a deep connection and reverence to the food you are eating and the place it came from - vitality, health, longevity and wellbeing flows!
ANd….garden to plate !
We also have a bountiful garden and food forest back on land, - the two go hand in hand, with zero waste - all our leftovers go back into nourishing the land - on your gastronomic adventure we’ll not only enjoy kai at sea, but stay for a few days and get the full experience making the most of the food we grow on land as well.

Enjoy our spirit of hospitality - there is nothing we love more than sitting around the outdoor dinner table, with the fire and smoker going and enjoying a feast with our guests - sharing that connection of having gathered our food together.
Every catch and cook, ocean to plate or garden to plate adventure is completely different and we roll with what nature provides us on the day. Seasonality is what makes our life rich and rewarding.
