Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    The scenery is amazing and it is a great walk into the township - it has lots of wide space for bikes and trikes etc... the walk takes you along the back of the township so you can stop for a nice coffee or treat on the way

    Just did this trek today with my girlfriend and it was super cool. We parked on the north end of Seaview road (where it meets Hillcrest road). This is a great place to park as it’s halfway up the hill and the starting point is tricky to find from Whakatāne town centre.

    We did one of the shorter loops as a part of the track is currently closed due to a landslide. That being said, we still walked something like 11kms so it was more than enough with all of the hills.

    Something I didn’t know before we started was that when you get to Otarawairere Bay you need to walk along some rocks next to the ocean. We did the crossing 1-2 hours after high tide and it was fine. If it was dead on high tide who knows if it would have been possible.

    Overall a super cool experience, highly recommend.

    Ps you can get some handy maps from the information centre in the town 😊

    We stayed at Whirinaki Adventures the night before we started our 3 day tramp through the beutiful Whirinaki Forest. We had a comfortable 3 bedroom cottage as our accommodation for the night. It was comfortable, clean and had a great heater in the lounge. We used their shuttle service to get to the start of the track and to pick us up at the end. They also do meals but we took our own. The hosts are very welcoming and accomodating. I highly recommend Whirinaki Adventures ltd
