For a long time, this sentinel standing high above the Bay of Plenty has been closed for most. We are excited to bring you this limited opportunity to be driven and guided to the top of this Majestic Mountain. This fully guided experience encompasses the unique landscape and history of the area, with unmatched scenic vistas and 360 degrees panoramic views. Departing Tauranga, we will be meeting our guide and boarding our vehicle to drive to the carpark summit up Mount Tarawera. The tour to the top of Mount Tarawera offers a fascinating journey through both time and nature. This iconic mountain in New Zealand's North Island is known for its volcanic history, with the most significant eruption in 1886 causing widespread devastation to the surrounding area. After our mountain adventure, it will be mid-afternoon as we travel to our lunch venue for a bite to eat from a local cafe. Today you will need: Warm Jacket, Sunglasses, Water bottle, Sunhat, Sunscreen, Flat shoes and a camera.
