Tarawera Falls are a spectacular and unique 200-foot-high waterfall emerging from from ancient underground lava caves.

The journey begins with a speedboat transfer from the Solitaire lodge jetty across Lake Tarawera to the Tarawera outlet stream. Walk through native bush of Pohutukawa and Rata trees with native bird sounds of Tuis, Fantails and Kereru. Rest and bathe in river swimming holes along the way and indulge in a picnic lunch to the rhythmic background of cascading waters.

A distant, rumbling roar builds anticipation long before the falls appear. Reaching the destination reveals a spectacular sight: water erupting violently from the fissures of a sheer volcanic cliff face, cascading down into a labyrinth of rocks and pools.
