Ohiwa Harbour

Take the kids to Port Ohope Wharf and enjoy a relaxing day out fishing, sailing, kayaking or jumping off the wharf amongst marvellous scenery.

The northern end of Ōhope gets most of the attention with its 11 kilometres of Pacific beaches, but Ohiwa Harbour, the southern half of Ōhope, offers plenty of opportunities for sightseeing, walks, fishing, kayaking, and more. Take the kids to Ohiwa and enjoy a relaxing day out fishing amongst marvellous scenery. And even if you don't catch anything, there are plenty of options nearby to grab a nice bite to eat.

Get Inspired.
