Kāwhia Must-Do's
Kāwhia Harbour
The result of a drowned river valley system, the harbour’s entrance is guarded by a large sand bar allowing for a tranquil inner harbour. The sunsets will blow your mind.

Kāwhia Hot Water Beach
Wonderfully remote, this is one hot water beach you’ll share with few others. Arrive at Ocean Beach two hours either side of low tide to dig a hole in the black sand.
Kāwhia Kai Festival
Every February, experience authentic indigenous foods, including traditional hangi meals plus kapa haka performances, flax weaving and carving demonstration.
Aotea Harbour
Known as Kāwhia’s sister harbour, this peaceful inlet features unique orange sandstone reefs and black-sand dunes. Walkable in two hours from Kāwhia.
