Eating out can be one of the highlights of a holiday in Whakatane. You can expect to find wonderful examples of edible excellence throughout the country, and the high standard of food offered by cafes and restaurants can be attributed to an unlimited supply of fresh, quality ingredients. The cuisine style known as Pacific Rim is New Zealand's point of difference. Pacific Rim blends the flavours of South East Asia, the Pacific and Japan. Seafood, the traditional Maori hangi (an earth oven), fresh fruit and locally produced venison and beef are just a selection of the must-try cuisine on offer. Combine this with world-class locally made wines and you have a memorable dining experience.

Zealand. Dine on the riverside taking in the magnificent harbour views, followed by a trip to the
hot springs with the family. Whakatane is the departure point for excursions by boat, helicopter and
fixed-wing plane to Whakaari (White Island) where you will see steaming fumaroles, vents, and view
