Sail Barbary and the Tiaki Promise

Visiting the Māori Rock Carvings aboard Barbary means you are being a good New Zealand guardian.

If you’ve seen the logo or posters while travelling around Aotearoa, you may have wondered what they mean.

It’s called the Tiaki Promise — #tiakipromise

Tiaki means to care for people, place, and culture.

New Zealand is precious, and everyone who lives and travels here has a responsibility to look after it. The Tiaki Promise is a commitment to care for New Zealand — now and for future generations.

By following the Tiaki Promise, you are making a personal commitment to act as a guardian, protecting and preserving our home.

We can help you be a good NZ guardian while sailing aboard Barbary II.

• You’re already showing care for the environment by choosing an electric, eco-friendly boat.

• Enjoy our onboard eco commentary about sustainability on the lake — it’s a local success story.

• Please dispose of rubbish thoughtfully and respect your fellow passengers.

• Drive safely when you leave.

That’s all you need to do — it’s easy to be a guardian.
