The Wai Kāhua Waka footbridge is a pedestrian bridge designed to resemble a waka. The bridge commemorates the arrival of navigators by canoe, waka, and ship over the past 1000 years. It spans Kaiti Beach Road and is part of the Puhi Kai Iti Cook Landing Site National Historic Reserve. The bridge connects the reserve's landscaping with the surrounding Tītīrangi hill walkways and offers views of Turanganui-a-Kiwa, the area where navigators arrived by sea.
Puhi Kai Iti/Cook Landing Site National Historic Reserve is great to visit at night; the structures are nicely lit up.
Despite the fact the bridge was essentially finished at the end of last year there have been delays in its opening.
