Explore the Tutaekuri River from the Kaweka Range to the Pacific Ocean near Napier, with more than 130km of fishable water and easy cycling and walking along the Hawke’s Bay Trails Water Ride.
The Tutaekuri river offers over 130km of fishable water. The river offers the angler a wide range of fishing experiences from chasing large sea-run brown trout in the very lower reaches to the almost wilderness experience of fishing for large rainbow trout in the upper reaches. Throughout its length this river offers top-quality fishing for all angling methods.
The lower section of the Tutaekuri River can be enjoyed on the easy-riding cycle and walking paths of the Hawke's Bay Trails Water Ride section, which commences at Puketapu and follows the river to its mouth at the Waitangi Estuary - alongside the Ngaruroro River and Te Awa o Mokotūāraro (Cliver River).
