Short walk suitable for most fitness levels
The tour begins at Kariri Point Reserve or Boat Shed Bay, where visitors park their vehicles before boarding the water taxi for a 40 minute cruise to Te Tapahoro Bay at the Tarawera Outlet. From there, participants start the loop walk to Tarawera Falls, a journey of approximately one and a half hours. Along the way, walkers pass two additional cascading waterfalls and experience some of New Zealands most beautiful native forests. The trail runs parallel to the Tarawera River, which serves as the final outlet to the sea for seven of Rotoruas lakes. The walk is regarded as one of the best short walks in New Zealand and offers spectacular views of the falls and surrounding scenery.
After enjoying the Tarawera Falls, visitors return along the same trail to Tapahoro Bay, where the water taxi picks them up at 1 00 p m for the return journey to Kariri Point Reserve or Boat Shed Bay, arriving around 1 30 p m. The total duration of the experience, including both water taxi rides and the loop walk, is approximately four hours. Visitors are advised to bring good walking shoes, drinking water, lunch, a camera, sunscreen, and in summer, a swimming costume and towel for a refreshing swim in the lake before boarding the boat. Travel is provided in an all weather water taxi ensuring a safe and scenic experience.
