Ga-Wahi:
Ga-Wahi is a large and mostly submerged region located on the eastern side of the island of Mata Nui. It is dominated by Naho Bay, taking up the vast majority of the region, which is surrounded by towering white cliffs. Ga-Wahi's landscape is very diverse; the regions around the coastline are long, sandy beaches surrounded by very tall and steep cliffs of white rock. The rest of the area is split between plains with plentiful vegetation and thick jungle, though it is not as thick and the trees are not as large as Le-Wahi. The entire region has very high humidity. Ga-Koro is located in this Wahi, along with other famous landmarks, such as the Naho Falls and the Hura-Mafa River. The Toa Metru first set foot on Mata Nui here, and it was where all of the Matoran were awoken from their slumber. Local landmarks include:
-Naho Bay: Home to Ga-Koro, Ga-Kini, and Ga-Suva, as well as several underwater caves. One such cave was connected to the passage to Metru Nui used by the Toa Metru in their first journey to Mata Nui, although the passage back was collapsed by Toa Onewa to prevent the corrupted robotic Vahki from following them to the island. Also, a large waterfall pours into Naho Bay, and the rock face of the falls is sculpted into the likeness of Toa Gali.
-Hura-Mafa River: The river runs northward from Mount Ihu to Naho Bay, emptying into the bay by means of the Naho Falls, one of the largest rivers and falls on the island.
-Old Fusa Path: This pathway was created by the Matoran to serve as an inland access point to the beaches of Naho Bay, and ultimately to the village of Ga-Koro. Harakeke and Bamboo plants proliferated along the path.
Ga-Koro:
"Turaga Nokama lives in the floating village of Ga-Koro. It's built out of strong, elastic seaweed, drifting in the water below the impressive white cliffs. Located in Gali's bay in the northeast region of the island, Ga-Koro is surrounded by swirling whirlpools and strong currents, which pull the unwary to the bottom of the ocean. The village floats above an underwater world of which little is known."
Ga-Koro is situated just off the shore of Naho Bay in northeastern Mata Nui, surrounded by whirlpools and strong currents that made sea travel treacherous. The village is mainly built on top of huge floating pads, the huts made out of a thick seaweed-like material, and the various pads are connected by walkways made from similar material, with one leading to a gate on the beach. At least one hut in the village required a pump to keep it floating; if the pump stopped working, then the hut sank. The Ga-Matoran are the inhabitants of Ga-Koro; here, they construct different artifacts such as Rope and Air Bladders using different materials. Some Ga-Matoran also become sailors.
Places of interest include Ga-Kini, a small temple in Ga-Wahi dedicated to Toa Gali; Gali’s Suva; and The Temple of Purity (also known as the Lost Reef; an underwater temple under Naho Bay so-named because it contained the Crystal of Purity)
