Welcome!
Since December 2025, the sanctuary has been managed by Moana Ora Ocean Research Alliance, an environmental non-profit organization whose mission is to care for Hina and Kuokoa with the same attention, dedication, and kindness.
In this new chapter, respect, safety, and well-being remain the founding values that guide everything we do.
The site is now evolving. Its mission and visitor experience are changing so that we can:
share and pass on knowledge in a new way
through
educational pathways
artistic initiatives
virtual and real-life experiences
creative workshops
guided tours
games and quizzes
participatory science
Dedicated to promoting and protecting Polynesia's environment,
MOANA ORA aims to be a place where nature, science, and culture meet in harmony,
with the support of its long-standing founder, TBSA.
