Just a 20-minute drive from Kawerau, the breathtaking Tarawera Falls is a must-visit destination for nature lovers and adventurers alike. Nestled in a lush native forest, these falls are a natural wonder where the Tarawera River emerges dramatically from a volcanic rock face, cascading 35 meters into a crystal-clear pool below.
The journey to the falls is as enchanting as the destination itself. A short, family-friendly walk through verdant bush reveals a tranquil atmosphere, alive with birdsong and the beauty of ancient trees. The falls’ unique geology, formed from volcanic activity, offers a fascinating glimpse into the natural forces that shaped this landscape.
Whether you’re seeking a peaceful retreat, an awe-inspiring photo opportunity, or a chance to immerse yourself in the heart of New Zealand’s natural beauty, Tarawera Falls will leave you enchanted.
