Description
On the coastal cliffs of Vaitogi, this powerful cultural site tells the legendary story of a couple who leapt into the ocean – transforming into a shark and a turtle. Today, the site is known for its dramatic views and the belief that singing an old chant can call the animals to the surface. There’s an interpretation panel that shares one version of the tale (there are many), plus the words to the chant if you’re game to try.
Highlights
- Hear the legend of the turtle and shark, told in song
- Take in sweeping views from the coastal cliffside platform
- Read the story and song lyrics at the onsite interpretation panel
