Lake Aniwaniwa Playground (Holly's Playground) -

The Whakaari/White Island Experience room provides a stunning up-close and informative experience of this geothermal wonder.

"I was asked to paint some movie characters, found some cool ones and added my favourite colours."

Hidden within this complex mural by American street artist Brian Gonnella, Taurahere Tangata, are many stories, references, and important Tīpuna of the Kopeopeo area.

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

Muriwai is a loved and honoured ancestress of the Mataatua tribes whose mana has endured down the centuries.

A shared-use track that includes an optional overnight stop at a historic hut and amazing views from the top of the Moerangi saddle.

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. 

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