'The Cougar' departs daily from the Ōhope Wharf to take you on your fishing adventure. A great day out for families, or just a group of mates.

A popular spot known to locals as 'The Heads' where the Whakatāne River meets the sea.

Sail from the Whakatāne Harbour on Centaurus, a spacious, 38-foot cruising catamaran.

Five minutes from Whakatāne, this championship course offers a great golf experience and is one of the finest golf courses in the Bay of Plenty.

This picturesque, well-groomed 18-hole course is on flat, easy walking land and is adjacent to the Tarawera River with mountain views and bird life adding to the enjoyment for players. 

Drop in to all the best spots in the Mōtū and Te Urewera Ranges. Land and camp, or stay in one of the many huts located in the National Parks.

Filled with fresh water from deep underground, it’s the perfect spot for a family picnic and refreshing swim on a hot summer day.
