Ultimate Day Out Featuring Tarawera Falls Walk and Geothermal Relaxation at Lake Tarawera
The Ultimate Day Out provides a comprehensive outdoor experience starting at Kariri Point Reserve on Lake Tarawera. Guests board a water taxi for a scenic 35-minute journey across the lake to Tapahoro, also known as the Tarawera Outlet. This boat ride offers stunning views of the surrounding landscape, setting the stage for a day filled with natural beauty and adventure. It is the perfect way to begin your exploration of this iconic New Zealand destination.
Upon arrival, participants embark on the Tarawera Falls Walk, an easy to moderate loop that takes approximately three and a half hours to complete. The trail winds through lush native bush, showcasing cascading waterfalls and breathtaking vistas of the lake. This walk is a highlight for those who appreciate the tranquility of the forest and the power of nature, offering plenty of opportunities to capture photos and enjoy the fresh air along the well-maintained path.
After the walk, the water taxi returns guests to Hot Water Beach for a brief stop to admire the unique geothermal features before continuing to the natural bush hot pool at Wairua Stream. At this serene location, visitors can relax in the warm geothermal waters surrounded by dense native forest. This restorative experience is the perfect way to soothe tired muscles after a morning of walking, providing a peaceful atmosphere that feels worlds away from everyday life.
The excursion concludes with a final water taxi ride back to Kariri Point Reserve, arriving in the mid-afternoon. This full-day adventure is ideal for friends, families, couples, and small groups looking for a balanced mix of physical activity, scenic boating, and geothermal relaxation. Participants are encouraged to bring comfortable walking shoes, drinking water, and lunch to ensure a pleasant day. It is a memorable way to experience the diverse natural wonders of the Lake Tarawera region.

Customer Reviews
This is my favorite activity in Ireland, hands down! It brings me back to childhood climbing trees.. only higher, more exhilarating, and with zip lines! It feels very safe, and the staff are friendly, helpful, and quick to come to your aid if you need assistance. Even if you’re not very athletic, you can still have a great time, though you might want some painkillers the next day.. it really works all your muscle groups. They also have smaller climbs for kids. A fantastic place! I’ve been here twice already and hope to return again!
Beautiful experience, suitable for kids as well. There are 3 hours available to try the different paths available. Place, instructors all is top notch I will definitely be back.
We spent a few hours last Sunday and was a great experience. It’s 42€ + 2€ for the gloves and can be there for 3 hours maximum. There are different levels and you can do or complete whichever you want depending on your fear and skills. The instructors and the installations are amazing. 10/10
