White Island/Whakaari Experience Room

This 18-hole rural golf course sits alongside the Rangitaiki River and provides a very welcoming relaxed atmosphere for every golfer that pops in for a round.

Pacific Coast Adventures offers half or full day inshore fishing charters as well as land based educational activities for groups.

eBikes, eScooters, SUP (Stand-up paddleboards) and yummy coffee are on the menu at Wharfside Ōhope.

This bronze statue atop Turuturu Rock lies at the mouth of the Whakatāne River and commemorates the bravery of Wairaka.

Great fun for the little ones. Trains generally run on Sundays from 10 am - until 3 pm, weather permitting.

The Mataatua waka first landed at Te Toka Tapu, which is sited opposite Turuturu Roimata (Statue Rock) at the Whakatāne river mouth. 

Everyone welcome, from first-time anglers to experienced fishermen. Because a day fishing is never a day wasted!

This mural is a collaboration with Ushy Ushy from the Cook Islands and is about the migration of the waka from the Cook Islands to the Bay of Plenty, and keeping the connection alive between all of us.
