Whakatane

Whakatane is the cultural hub of the Bay of Plenty and the gateway to White Island - New Zealand's only active offshore volcano. The warm waters in Whakatane are famous for deep sea fishing and the wharf is the base for wildlife cruises, volcano tours, and fishing boat charters. Go shopping in The Hub Whakatane - a 24,000sqm shopping mall, explore Moutohora (Whale Island) on a wildlife tour, dig your own hot pool at Sulphur Bay, or simply bask in the sunshine. more
For a unique cultural experience, visit Mataatua Wharenui – a fully carved Maori meeting house that travelled the world for a century before returning to the Bay of Plenty. This interactive experience into Maori culture is designed to immerse you in the culture, rather than just perform it to you, and will introduce you to the history, customs, and culture of the Maori people.
