Tarawera Waterfall Walk NC18

Unexpected sights and magnificent scenery await those who venture on this full day guided trip which combines a lake cruise and waterfall walk.

On the scenic lake cruise take in the stunning panoramas of Lake and Mount Tarawera and enjoy the informative commentary on the 1886 Mount Tarawera eruption and the area’s volcanic past. Soaked with incredible beauty, the walk follows the path of an ancient lava flow through a rainforest rich with ferns, lichens and mosses in sight of the crystal clear Tarawera River. See the surging river unexpectedly disappearing into subterranean chambers before flowing underground then finally blasting out a sheer cliff face 30m high creating the spectacular Tarawera Falls.

The return journey to Rotorua is via some of the regions most scenic lakes and a walk in a magnificent rainforest completes this fascinating day of beauty and tranquility.
