Ōhope Scenic Reserve

Nestled in the heart of an enthralling kahikatea forest, the White Pine Bush Road loop is perfect for families.

This portion of Ngā Tapuwae o Toi Trail offers a number of views over Whakatāne and the surrounding area.

If you're keen for a simple family spin, go to Maraetotara in Ōhope. Ride up the unsealed Maraetotara Road into the bush-edged Burma Rd to the main Ōhope-Whakatāne highway.

Follow an interesting Historic Trail around through the town centre and along the river bank.

Perfect for a family ride or walk on a flat, paved shared-use path that follows the riverbank.

A great spot for safe paddling, whether that's aboard plastic sit-ons, sea kayaks, multisport racers or tractor tyres.

Nga Tapuwae o Toi, or the ‘Footprints of Toi’, is a walking trail that captures the essence of the Whakatāne District.

A downstream run on the Rangitāiki River from the power station at the base of Lake Aniwaniwa towards Lake Matahina.
