Description
A true piece of New Zealand - beautiful and inspiring.
The words he [Kupe] uttered then about his decision [to depart] became the preferred name for the harbour and immortalised his years here -
"Hei konei ra i te puna i te ao marama, ka hoki nei ahau, e kore ano
e hokianga-nui mai" "This the spring of the world of light, I shall not come back here again".
So the name Te Hokianga nui a Kupe was given, and in time became simply "Hokianga".
