At Mount Tarawera, view the majestic fissures of its volcanic lava domes, learn the history of the devastating eruption of 1886, and see the remains of Te Wairoa, a village that was buried in the tragic incident.

Disembark after gliding among the ducks and swans around Lake Tarawera for your opportunity to capture the perfect picture and stretch your legs. Next, cross Lake Tikitapu, which exudes a calming blue shade due to volcanic rock on the lake bed.

As your guide leads you back to Rotorua, explore famous legends and myths as your guide sheds more light on the fascinating geothermal and cultural center.
