Attraction
Tolaga Bay Wharf
Discover one of Tairāwhiti Gisborne's most iconic landmarks, the historic Tolaga Bay Wharf, a Category One Heritage New Zealand site.
Stretching out into the waters of Tolaga Bay, this historic wharf is one of the region's most recognisable landmarks and is believed to be the longest wharf of its type in the Southern Hemisphere.
Located in Ūawa Tolaga Bay, the wharf is a reminder of the area's rich maritime history. The surrounding area is also steeped in Māori history and is closely connected to Te Aitanga-a-Hauiti.
Visitors are welcome to Tolaga Bay Wharf, however access along the wharf is currently restricted for safety reasons. Please follow all on-site signage and access restrictions.
