Seaweek Treasure Hunt

Hidden away in a small seaside community on Banks Peninsula are treasures from our seafaring past. From waka to whaling, shipwrecks to scrimshaw, these treasures tell the story of epic journeys across the seas and coastlines of Aotearoa New Zealand. Using a treasure map to find specific objects in the collections, your task is to solve the key and unlock your own piece of Okains Bay treasure.

Museum open: Wednesdays – Sundays, 10 am – 4 pm

Bookings are not required but capacity limits apply.
