Tolaga Bay Historic Wharf

Reviewed By HiccupHickey - Opotiki, New Zealand

Beautiful wharf set amongst stunning cliffs and views if the coast. Well worth a stop to stroll the entirety of the wharf. Wear your togs so you can jump off the wharf at the end (safely) as there is a ladder to climb back up. Worth taking some fishing rods too if you have a chance. Can also reccomend the little food truck at the start, had some great cheezy wheezy :)

Westhaven Promenade

Reviewed By 378lizh - Lichfield, United Kingdom

Coming from the CBD, we hoped to walk to the harbour bridge, but didn’t have quite enough time. We did however walk the Westhaven Promenade, which we both thoroughly enjoyed. There were good sculptures and interesting seating. We watched a sailing lesson for children and radio controlled model boats out in the marina. It was a shame that you walk through an industrial area and the back of boat yards to join to the Wynyard Quarter, although the area does seem to be under development. Better signage linking the areas would be a bonus!

Oneroa cycleway/ walkway

Reviewed By EricaA269 - Nelson, New Zealand

Hire a bike (Cycling Gisborne) and ride along the board walk, then bike thru the dunes on the 4WD track (particulalry if you have an ebike!). A beautiful long beach. A beautiful flat boardwalk. Lots to see and watch (surfies, ships etc)

Bay of Islands Coastal Walkway - Okiato to Russell

Reviewed By CaneloLeche - Australia, null

Great coastal walk with lovely views. Parts rough and steep but well manageable. Depending on tide timea you can walk parts along the beach but the full track is accessible regardless. Look out for Terry as he has been maintaining the paths for years and is doing a fine job of it.

Ferry Landing Wharf

Reviewed By Strickes - Rotorua District, New Zealand

We took the ferry this past weekend for the first time. Good pricing for the few minute trip across the harbour. Both sides of the harbour and wharves are kept in excellent condition. Very picturesque area. An easy walk to the Whitianga town centre. And on the other side nice walk to Flaxmill Bay and if you want to go further to Shakespeare Cliff scenic area. Well worth a look.
