Cyclists on harbourside trail

Ōhope Harbourside Trail

This path for cyclists and walkers alike is a gentle amble for all ages and abilities along the shoreline of one of NZ’s most unspoiled estuaries, Ōhiwa Harbour.

With a multitude of birdlife, shellfish and fish species, the Harbour has long held cultural significance to tangata whenua.

Traversing esplanade and recreational reserves, the walk has been designed to ensure the least disruption to the natural environment while allowing for stunning views.

Please give way to pedestrians, keep dogs leashed, and clean up after them so all can enjoy the latest addition to our recreational areas. 


Grade: Easy
Distance: 2.9 km purpose-build pathway
Access: Waterway Drive to Port Ōhope Wharf, Port Ōhope.
