-- About this video –
Today we are joining Kaitiaki Adventures for their volcano hike on Mount Tarawera. This is one of the only ways to access this incredible volcano in Rotorua. Mt Tarawera is one of the most famous volcanoes in New Zealand due to the 1886 eruption which was the largest volcanic eruption in New Zealand in the last 500 years. It created a wonderful landscape around Mt Tarawera in Rotorua and is a great volcano hike in New Zealand. If you’re looking for an alternative to the Tongariro Crossing, then consider hiking Mt Tarawera.
So what do you think of this volcano walk in New Zealand? Would you add Mount Tarawera to your Rotorua travel itinerary? LUK in the comments!

Tarawera Trail
30 kilometrů dlouhá procházka v horku k termálním pramenům.
Tarawera Trail :: Long White Gypsy
Clearly, I'm not the fittest or fastest hiker on the planet.
What I suspected would be a relatively easy day hike actually turned into a nightmarish 7 hour slog, almost entirely uphill. But don't be alarmed... My conclusion is that this is due in large part to hiker-error and not the trail itself, highlighting the importance of thoroughly conducting your research on the trail before you head out (and utilising handy videos like this one as a visual aid).
Classified by DOC as an Advanced tramping track, I should have known better really. The only other advanced tracks I have completed (the hikes to Mt Urchin and Tama Lakes) were substantially easier by comparison. For a start, they were completed in the time suggested on the DOC website. And whereas they did involve undulating or steep uphill slogs, they were manageable. By contrast, the Tarawera Trail sapped the life out of me piece by piece over a gruelling 7 hour day.
I thought I had familiarised myself with the trail before we left home. I thought I knew what to expect. I was wrong. If I had looked a little closer at the DOC brochure I would have seen a relief map of the trail, making it clear that a hike in the reverse direction (from Hot Water Beach) would involve much more in the way of ascents.
I would have also seen that there were no marked hot pools part-way along the trail. A brief side-trip we took as the result of an inkling I had (backed up by what I thought was reliable information from our boat operator) could easily have ended up in disaster when we lost the trail. I was surprised at how quickly panic set in. Thankfully, I managed to keep calm and navigate us back to safety ... but not without a healthy dose of humble pie.
I will leave a more detailed account of the trail in the blog post which goes along with this video.
For now, the biggest piece of advice I can give you on hiking the Tarawera Trail is to hike from the carpark to Hot Water Beach and catch the water taxi back to The Landing. You'll thank me for it later.

Tarawera Trail Hot Water Beach - Living a Kiwi Life - Ep. 24
The Tarawera trail was opened in late 2013 which is a beautiful 4-5 hour trail to a Hot Water Beach outside Rotorua, New Zealand. Previously only accessible by boat there is a campsite at the beach. This place was amazingly fun but nature doesn't mess around, the water is HOT!!! I got mild burns on my neck from trying to swim around the shoreline, the hottest water tends to float at the surface of the lake! If you're keen there is also a hot pool in the jungle a 5 minute detour off the main track. It's not officially marked which made it more fun to find! :)

How do walkers like the new Tarawera Trail?
The Mud interviewed walkers for their thoughts on the new Tarawera Trail near Rotorua. Day-walkers were impressed with the beauty of the walk and the supporting material at the start. A couple of overnights liked the walk but did have criticism about the maintenance of the web site.

Tarawera Trail Marathon and 50k
The Tarawera Trail Marathon and 50k run and walk, Rotorua New Zealand. Mid November 2015. This spectacular run and walk starts at Pohutu Geyser in the Whakarewarewa Thermal Field, Te Puia.

Following the hidden corners of Green Lake takes you to the views from the ridgetop on Woodstock Farm. Running past the sheep and back along the shores of Rotokakahi (Green Lake), it’s 15km along the new Tarawera Trail. With views of Lakes Tarawera and Rotomahana along the way, you’ll finish right under Mt Tarawera – at Hot Water beach where you can soak in the natural hot water pool or jump in the lake. A scenic boatride and bus takes you back home.
