White Island Flights

Otuawhaki has great importance for Ngāti Awa as a fishing ground and place of learning.

Painted as part of the Chorus Cabinet Art programme by Shane Walker, you'll find this mural near the Whakatāne riverfront.

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

Pohaturoa rock is an important landmark to all members of the Whakatāne community

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. 

Te Papaka pa is rich in Ngāti Awa history. From the summit, a magnificent panorama landward and seaward avails. Nowadays the site is no longer inhabited but is open to sightseers.  

Heritage and agricultural displays, plus 100-year-old grocery and hardware store.

The brainchild of Colin Hughes, these picturesque tiles were designed and created by a team of 12 artisans from the Whakatane Society of Arts and Crafts.
