Ōhope Scenic Reserve

Meandering over Ōpōtiki’s dunes and beach, it's just as good for walking and running as it is for biking. With no hills above 15 metres, and plenty of places to access the sand, children love it!

Perfect for a family ride or walk on a flat, paved shared-use path that follows the riverbank.

This path for cyclists and walkers alike is a gentle amble for all ages and abilities along the shoreline of one of NZ’s most unspoiled estuaries, Ōhiwa Harbour. 

Twist down a bush-clad valley south of Ōpōtiki. The river’s a treasure, with plenty of fun grade 1 and 2 paddling and awesome wilderness scenery.

Ready for whitewater fun? If you’ve got play boats, slalom kayaks, or maybe a couple of old car inner tubes, you’ll have a great time in Kawerau.

Whakatāne has a wide range of public art from traditional Māori carving to contemporary sculpture and murals.

Learn of the district's history and enjoy brilliant views of Ohakana Island, Port Ōhope and the East Cape.

This portion of Ngā Tapuwae o Toi Trail offers a number of views over Whakatāne and the surrounding area.
