Māori Culture

Guided cultural and geothermal tours to Te Rātā Bay and Hot Water Beach, including a natural hot pool soak.

Journey deep into the history, culture and natural wonders of the Tarawera region with an unforgettable guided tour.
 
Totally Tarawera offers a number tours, with the most popular taking guests to Te Rātā Bay and Hot Water Beach to enjoy geothermal pools along the lake’s edge, and to a secluded natural hot pool for a relaxing soak.

Also popular is the native forest, river-edge Tarawera River Walk to Tarawera Falls, rated as one of the best short walks in New Zealand.
 
Totally Tarawera operates Lake Tarawera Water Taxi which is available to drop off and/or pick up hikers keen to hike the 15km Tarawera Trail and many of the other popular walking tracks around Lake Tarawera. Bookings required.

For a very personal experience, the exclusive cultural and geothermal tour of Lake Tarawera and Whakarewarewa Living Māori Village in Rotorua is led by a descendant of the famous Māori guide Sophia who guided visitors to the Pink and White Terraces in the 1800s.
 
If you’re looking for a glamorous camping experience, book in for a Kanuka Glamping stay on the shores of Lake Tarawera overlooking Mt Tarawera itself, perfect for a romantic getaway.
