Marawaiwai Scenic Reserve is an area of semi-coastal broadleaf forest of a type that would once have covered much of the Opotiki area.
The forest and the small raupo wetland support many common bush birds and the occassional kereru. Some native plant species along the track have names posted.
Location
The Marawaiwai Scenic Reserve is 7 km south-east of Opotiki. Turn off State Highway 2 onto Warrington Road and then on to Harrison Road.

Dogs, horses, vehicles (including bicycles and motorbikes), fires, removal of plants or animals, camping or hunting are not permitted.
