How the Ramoroa pool got its name
The pool “Ramaroa”, to give it its Maori name was first used by a Pakeha when JC Firth, on bringing his barges up the Waihou River, discovered it and used it as his private pool.
Legend tells a story of a Maori Chief and his Wahine who were warned to be through the Okauia area by dusk.
However, traveling on the river in a canoe called Ramaroa, the Chief became cold , so he ordered his Wahine to light a fire for warmth, ignoring the threat of being turned to stone.
In doing so, dusk fell and the Maori lore has it that the pool is always hot because of the perpetual fire under the petrified bow of Canoe Ramaroa, which shows very clearly through the clear bubbling water of this fascinating pool
