Wairaka Centennial Park

Otuawhaki has great importance for Ngāti Awa as a fishing ground and place of learning.

Join us for dolphin and seal swimming encounters with frequent penguin, sea bird and occasional whale sightings.

Filled with fresh water from deep underground, it’s the perfect spot for a family picnic and refreshing swim on a hot summer day.

Pohaturoa rock is an important landmark to all members of the Whakatāne community

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

Your four-hour adventure with us includes a marine eco-tour circumnavigating Moutohora (Whale) Island followed by a scenic walk.

Experience What We Live For!  Whirinaki forest holidays are our passion.

A collaboration between Owen Dippie and Tame Iti this mural is titled 'Te Tira Hou' the New Generation.
