Trekker walking on Ohope Beach

Explore with Google Street View

Take virtual tours via Google Street View of some of the Whakatāne District's most popular and spectacular destinations.

The walk around Tauwhare is an opportunity to learn something of the district’s history and enjoy brilliant views over the harbour to Ohakana Island, Port Ōhope and the East Cape.

A short walk through native bush alongside the crystal clear waters of the Tarawera River leads you to the spectacular Tarawera Falls.

Ōhiwa Harbour, the southern half of Ōhope, offers plenty of opportunities for sightseeing, walks, fishing, kayaking, and more — especially at the Ōhope Wharf.

Bordered by the Whakatāne River on one side and bush-clad cliffs on the other, Whakatāne's commercial centre must have one of the most scenic settings any town could wish for.
