Tarawera

Experience the wonder of Mt Tarawera, a truly unique walking adventure taking in the scenic beauty of the Rotorua Lakes Region over top of a dormant volcanic mountain. Mt Tarawera is infamous for its eruption on June 10th, 1886, which created the world’s youngest geothermal valley of Waimangu and also destroyed the Pink and White Terraces, which were regarded as the 8th Natural Wonder of the World. Your experience will include transportation to and from your accommodation, guide and an uncluttered walking experience which fuses the natural wonder of New Zealand’s largest lakes district with history, culture of the people of Ngati Rangitihi, tranquillity and an exciting one of a kind scree run to the bottom of the volcanic crater.
