Things to do in Porirua

For a cultural fix, head to the Pataka Art + Museum, which originally opened in 1980 in the hamlet of Takapūwāhia. Browse the local history displays and the contemporary art exhibits that feature the works of Māori, Pacific and New Zealand artists.

Sprawling east of Porirua is Belmont Regional Park, which encompasses native forest, rural farms and the 456-metre-high Belmont Trig. When it was created in 1986, it was the first park in New Zealand to combine areas for farming, conservation and recreation. You can stretch your legs on the half-day Puke Ariki Traverse, explore the park on horseback or take advantage of the mountain biking trails.

Just off the coast of Porirua is Mana Island, which can be seen from the scenic sands of Titahi Bay Beach. Join a guided boat trip to learn about the conservation history of the island, then hike to its top for panoramic views towards the South Island. Mana Island provides important habitat for Wellington greek geckos, yellow-crowned parakeet and flightless South Island takahē.
