The Tangoio Walkway links two of Hawke’s Bay’s beautiful scenic reserves, White Pine Bush and Tangiao Falls.

The walkway follows Kareaara stream through native forest, open grassland, and old and new pine plantations to the Te Ana and Tangoio Falls. Listen for tui, kereru, bellbird, fantail, kingfisher and grey warbler in the forest and watch for freshwater crayfish in the stream.

The walkway links with the short and long loop tracks in White Pine Bush Path
