Trip Info
Follow the footsteps of the early travelers to the Pink and White Terraces. Learn where Guide Sophia spotted the phantom canoe. Your Water Taxi journey takes you past Mourea the historic Maori village destroyed during the Tarawera Eruption and situated below the sleeping mountain. Once through the Ariki Arm you will see the crossing place to the Terraces, and now steaming Hot Water Beach. While returning back across the lake you will experience how the landscape has changed and how the splendid natural beauty of the area has returned.
Your adventure awaits!
Lake Tarawera Water Taxi and Eco Tours
Lake Tarawera was the home of the Tuhourangi people prior to 1886. With the eruption of Mount Tarawera on June 10th 1886 every thing changed. Karen and David Walmsley are passionate about this area and now that Tarawera has healed from that long ago eruption they are both dedicated to bringing the Tuhourangi people back to this area to do what they once did so well, guide and extend hospitality to visitors from all over the world to this area.
