Perched atop New Zealand’s north island on the Pacific Ocean,
Whakatane is the number one destination for anyone who likes arts, shopping and nature. The seaside city provides easy access to a number of secluded beaches, towering forests and pristine locations.
Located in the geothermal region The Bay of Plenty, Whakatane is a hot spot of volcanic activity. In fact, the area is home to the only active volcano in the country. A visit here will treat you to the rich red soils and bubbling sulphuric pools that define the region.
