Enjoy expansive views of the craters formed during the 1886 eruption and the 7km’s of rift that runs the mountains length. On a fine day views stretch from White Island, 52 km’s off the Bay of Plenty coastline, to the snow covered peaks of the World Heritage Tongariro National Park far to the south.
Mount Tarawera is a volcanic mountain located 24 kilometres southeast of Rotorua in the North Island of New Zealand. It is a series of rhyolite domes which was fissured down the middle by a basaltic eruption in 1886. The main peaks include Tarawera Peak and Wahanga Peak.
The summit is at 1111 metres. The crater of the volcano is a 6 kilometre-long chasm running northeast-southwest.The volcano is surrounded by a series of small lakes, many of which were created or drastically altered in the 1886 eruption.
These lakes include Lakes Tarawera, Rotomahana, Rerewhakaaitu, Okataina, Okareka, Tikitapu (Blue Lake) and Rotokakahi (Green Lake). The Tarawera River runs northeastwards across the northern flank of the mountain from Lake Tarawera.
