About
Nestled in the heart of New Zealand's North Island, Lake Tarawera is a shimmering jewel among the country's picturesque landscapes. This pristine lake, fringed by lush native bush, boasts a tranquil beauty that captivates all who visit. With its crystal-clear waters and a backdrop of the mighty Mount Tarawera, the lake's scenery is nothing short of awe-inspiring.
Lake Tarawera offers a diverse range of activities for nature lovers and adventurers alike. You can embark on scenic boat cruises, kayak across its serene surface, or cast your fishing line into its depths, hoping to reel in a trophy-sized trout. The lake's geothermal wonders, such as the famous Hot Water Beach, provide a unique opportunity to relax in nature's own hot tubs.
For those seeking cultural enrichment, Lake Tarawera holds historical significance as the site of the devastating 1886 eruption of Mount Tarawera. You can explore the remnants of the Pink and White Terraces, once considered the eighth wonder of the natural world, which were buried by the eruption and are now submerged in the lake.
Whether you seek tranquillity, adventure, or a glimpse into history, Lake Tarawera beckons you to immerse yourself in its natural wonders and rich heritage. It's a destination where every vista, every activity, and every moment promises to leave an indelible mark on your heart.
