Whanarua Bay is a nature lover’s paradise, offering a wide range of outdoor activities for all fitness levels. For those seeking a moderate challenge, we recommend taking a hike to the top of Karirangi Point, where you can enjoy breathtaking views overlooking Whanarua Bay. The walk takes approximately 2 hours (return) and requires a good pair of walking shoes and plenty of water.
If you prefer a more laid-back outing, you can take a leisurely stroll down to the bay for a picnic or a refreshing swim. Alternatively, you can make use of our complimentary kayaks, which come equipped with paddles and life jackets. We also offer kayak trolleys for your convenience. To check their availability, please speak with Margaret.
No trip to Whanarua Bay is complete without a visit to Pacific Coast Macadamias, just a 5-minute walk down the road. Here, you can indulge in homemade macadamia and manuka honey ice-cream while enjoying the stunning bay views from the comfort of the cafe. Come and experience the best that Whanarua Bay has to offer, and make unforgettable memories that will last a lifetime.
