The main centre of Northern Hawke's Bay is Wairoa, a relaxed town on the banks of the Wairoa River. The southern gateway to the Bay of Plenty, Wairoa is a centre for water-based activities, including yachting and waterskiing on the river, fishing, and boating on and walking around the spectacular Lake Waikaremoana. There is also the magnificent wilderness of Te Urewera National Park.

North of Wairoa lies the Mahia Peninsula, a 374ha reserve, one of the last large tracts of lowland coastal forest remaining on the east coast. A 3.5km loop track (1.5-2 hours) takes walkers through different types of native vegetation.

Mahia Beach is a delightful holiday village with great fishing, surfing and diving, as well as safe swimming beaches and a nine-hole golf course. An excellent range of accommodation is available, which makes it an ideal spot for a coastal getaway. Black’s Beach, Opoutama and Mahia Beach are all worth the visit. On the northern side of the peninsula Mahanga Beach and The Reefs offer good surfing and sheltered coves.

Inland from Mahia is the quiet town of Morere, known for its hot springs. The springs are set in native forest through which there are a series of excellent walking tracks.
