Public Art Trail

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

Twist down a bush-clad valley south of Ōpōtiki. The river’s a treasure, with plenty of fun grade 1 and 2 paddling and awesome wilderness scenery.

This easy loop track follows the Whirinaki River through superb podocarp forest with many excellent vantage points of the river.

The Fairbrother Loop Walk is the first portion of the Ōhope Scenic Reserve.

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. 

Learn of the district's history and enjoy brilliant views of Ohakana Island, Port Ōhope and the East Cape.

Ready for whitewater fun? If you’ve got play boats, slalom kayaks, or maybe a couple of old car inner tubes, you’ll have a great time in Kawerau.

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