Explore Lake TaraweraThis deep, clear lake of excellent water quality year round, offers opportunity for swimming, (hot or cold), water-skiing, kayaking and sailing, besides fishing for some very smart trout!
This breathtaking lake is bordered on its eastern end by Mount Tarawera, and every aspect of the lake and its shores has much beauty and many special features to discover.
Many walks are available, leisurely, or more challenging, and photographers and artists find infinite inspiration around its shores.
Just outside Rotorua, this deep clear lake is renowned for the size, condition and rapid growth of the Rainbow trout it produces.
Its reputation draws anglers from around the world in search of trophy fish, many in excess of 4kg (9 lbs) are taken.
The lake is open to both fly fishing and trolling, with lead core or wire lines, from October 1 to June 30, except for the 'Outlet' which closes on May 31 in order to protect spawning fish.
The river upstream from the footbridge is now a totally closed spawning reserve.
The Buried Village
The Buried Village with its award-winning museum, recreated pioneer cottage, Maori whare and excavated sites is a must-see for anyone visiting Rotorua. The scenic nature trails, including a walk to a stunning waterfall, and the café onsite are attractions in their own right.
The excavated village offers a first hand insight into the chaos and mayhem that transpired on the night Mount Tarawera erupted. It is an authentic appreciation of the people of Te Wairoa, both Maori and European, on how they lived… and died.
