Rivers and harbours

The Whakatane District has three major rivers running through it; Tarawera, Rangitaiki and Whakatane. Each river presents a range of recreational activities including walking tracks, trout fishing, rafting and jet boating. For further information visit www.doc.govt.nz and www.fishandgame.org.nz or this district map.

Ohiwa Harbour is a magical area with hundreds of seabirds making their summer home on the rich mudflats and sandbanks of the inner harbour. Recreational uses include fishing, sailing, water skiing, kayaking and windsurfing among the many attractions.
