About this activity

The Tarawera and Lakes Tour is the ultimate way to experience the beauty of Rotorua's lakes district and uncover the stories of the land, its people, and the devastating 1886 eruption of Mt Tarawera. This fully guided 120-minute adventure takes you across land and water aboard a genuine WWII amphibious duck, visiting four of Rotorua's stunning lakes and cruising across three — with the breathtaking Lake Tarawera at the foot of the mighty Mt Tarawera as the undeniable highlight. With comfortable seating and a small group setting, this tour is perfect for families, couples, and solo travellers looking to immerse themselves in Rotorua's rich history and spectacular natural landscapes. Our guides are passionate, knowledgeable, and dedicated to making every tour an experience to remember.
