Public Art Trail

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

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

Paddle out through the waves to Ōtarawairere Beach, a stunning spot, with craggy rocky outcrops pushing out into the sea.

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

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

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.

Walk over rolling farmland which leads up to native bush and a trig station. There you can enjoy superb views over the Rangitāiki Plains.
