Introduction

Porirua, about 20 km north of Wellington, is a coastal city on Porirua Harbour. It is a hub of Maori culture — home to major marae and Maori institutions — while the harbour wetlands are a birding haven with big winter flocks, and the coastal walks and Titahi Bay beach serve locals and visitors alike.
