Out On The Water
If you are keen on your water sports you will be spoiled for choice in the Eastern Bay. With over 50km of coastline and several major rivers you won't have to go back to the same water twice (unless you really want to!). We have a number of experienced providers to make sure you have the right equipment and information to have a great time.

Awesome spot!
This region was central to the first settlement of New Zealand (Aotearoa) by Maori, the tangata whenua (people of the land).That’s space!
Ohope beach is around 11km long - at an average of perhaps 50m wide that's 550,000 square metres of sand.Paradise!
Ohiwa Harbour is a haven for many rare and endangered species of birds. The hills above Whakatane are kiwi sanctuaries. There are many projects to restore and protect local environments. Whales, dolphins and Orca are often seen off the coast of Whakatane.Movie time!
Opotiki is just 45 minutes’ drive from Whakatane. Check out the town's historic De Luxe Theatre and Shalfoon & Francis stores, which have been restored to their early-20th century grandeur. More: www.opotikinz.comKa-boom!
