Tauwhare Pā - Google Street View

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. Access to the walkway is approximately 300 metres on the left, past the start of Wainui Road, Ōhope.


Streetview highlights

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.

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

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

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