Stunning walk from Whakatane to Kohi Point and on around to Otarawairere. The walk starts out steepish, but then opens up to amazing views and a reasonably even ridgetop walk, then drops down into Otarawairere Bay. There's plenty of trees and cover, but still some exposed areas. From Otarawairere you have a couple of options of getting back to Whakatane - just note that high tide time and allow 2hrs each side of it, otherwise it's impassable. You can access Otarawairere Bay from Ohope, and it is worth the walk as it's a much nicer beach (shells, rather than sandy), and much less populated. Just note that there is a steepish section, so probably not for anyone unsteady...
