Marumaru Atua ("under the protection of God") is a reconstruction of a vaka moana, a double-hulled Polynesian voyaging canoe.

[3] The starboard hull is named Pa Tuterangi Ariki and has a bowspirit carved with the sun, Te Ra, as a tribute to former Cook Islands Prime Minister and Polynesian navigator Tom Davis.

[3][5] In April 2010, Marumaru Atua was part of a fleet of four vaka which voyaged from New Zealand to the island of Raivavae in French Polynesia.

[1] In 2011, it visited San Francisco as part of a fleet of six traditional canoes which voyaged across the Pacific to the USA.

[2] In September 2014, it journeyed to Sydney, Australia as part of a fleet to mark the World parks Congress in November.
