The Whirinaki Rainforest - a majestic, ancient and spiritual realm. Join us for a guided walking journey into the heart of this vast, Jurassic, podocarp rain forest. 

Te Papaka pa is rich in Ngāti Awa history. From the summit, a magnificent panorama landward and seaward avails. Nowadays the site is no longer inhabited but is open to sightseers.  

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. 

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

The Whakatāne Astronomical Society provide night sky viewing from the nationally renowned Whakatāne Observatory.

Great fun for the little ones. Trains generally run on Sundays from 10 am - until 3 pm, weather permitting.

Travel along a piece of New Zealand's rich rail history and experience the natural beauty and adventure from the comfort of a self-driven rail-cart

Painted as part of the Chorus Cabinet Art programme by Shane Walker, you'll find this mural near the Whakatāne riverfront.
