From the road end walk upstream on the true right of the Whakatane River and continue past where the Pukawa Stream enters the river. Follow the track through bush to a grass and manuka terrace and onto the Otaneuri Stream (difficult to cross in flood). From here it is a 2 km walk to the swingbridge over the Ohora Stream. To reach Ohora Hut (19 bunks) follow the left fork track from the main track junction at the southern end of the bridge. To reach Onepu Hut (7 bunks) continue for 1- 2 hours up the Ohora Stream from Ohora Hut. The track from Onepu Hut leads over into the Waimana Valley (4-5 hours).
