"Waka Toa is highly regarded in Gisborne. They are a truly professional and very entertaining group" (abridged)
Meng Foon, JP, Mayor, Gisborne District
"The Powhiri and Performances are of a high standard and the interaction between Waka Toa and the visitors is personalised, the most outstanding characteristic of the performance is the Korero (speech) of Kohi Kingi. During this Korero, Kohi explains about what drives Waka Toa and it is this Korero that moves the visitors."
