Whakatāne Gardens

A self-guided scavenger hunt in Whakatāne, New Zealand, the Kiwi Capital of the World!

Fishing out of Whakatāne to White Island, down to Waihau Bay and the Ranfurly Bank, we offer all different styles of fishing targeting everything from trout to marlin.

'The Cougar' departs daily from the Ōhope Wharf to take you on your fishing adventure. A great day out for families, or just a group of mates.

The centre hosts the Horizon Energy Group Library, the Whakatāne District Museum display and three gallery spaces.

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. 

Venture off the beaten path and into the whimsical realm of Maggie's Funtastic Garden near Edgecumbe, where artist and sculptor Maggie Fenton has created two acres of themed gardens that will delight kids.

Sail from the Whakatāne Harbour on Centaurus, a spacious, 38-foot cruising catamaran.

A fun, diverse and detailed riverside park, adjacent to the Warren Cole walkway.
