Nature Walks

Tarawera Falls walk is accessed by boat. This walk begins under the mountain at the outlet of the lake—the Tarawera River. The walk is of a moderate grade and takes approximately three hours round trip. A water taxi service can take you there and then onto Hot Water Beach before returning back to the dock. You should allow about five hours for this experience. Taxi rides to other places on the lake are also available.

The Lake Okataina Eastern Walkway. Access is by boat also. The walk begins at Humphreys Bay with a 30 minute walk across to pristine Lake Okataina. This walk would suit moderate to fit walkers and takes approximately three to four hours.

On the western shore where the Lake Tarawera community is situated there is a walkway extending from Te Toroa Drive through to Waitangi Bay. This can be accessed in many places along Spencer Road and is an easy walk that meanders along the lakeshore in front of the many houses that dot this area. There are plenty of places to access jetties and beaches for swimming.
