Explore geothermal streams and cool lake waters naturally
Walk along hidden trails surrounded by native forest
Relax in warm sand or swim in the lake
Experience unique thermal activity with steaming sand and water
Hot Water Beach on Lake Tarawera offers a unique geothermal experience perfect for a half or full day outing. Visitors can enjoy the warm thermal stream as it trickles down into the cool lake waters, creating a natural spa-like environment. The southern shore of the lake is home to this hidden gem where steam rises from the sand and water, revealing the geothermal activity beneath. Guests can dip their toes in the warm stream or dig into the sand to experience the silky warmth for themselves. During busy seasons, the area is shared with campers from the nearby DOC campsite, making it a social and lively spot to enjoy nature. The beach is also ideal for swimming and relaxing, with designated areas for dipping in the lake during summer months.
The experience includes a 25-minute water taxi ride each way, providing scenic views of Lake Tarawera while traveling in an all-weather boat. Departure times are flexible, with morning and midday options returning in the early or late afternoon. Guests are advised to bring good walking shoes, drinking water, lunch for picnic stops, swimming costumes, towels, sunscreen, and a camera to capture the stunning surroundings. Refreshments are also available along the way, making this a comfortable and immersive geothermal adventure suitable for all ages.
