Mount Tarawera

Talavera erupted in 1886, the largest volcanic eruption in New Zealand's history. There are also various trips to volcanoes on offer here today. Local tour guides will introduce the volcanic structure and take visitors on a half-day 4WD tour, starting from Rotorua, passing through scenic farmland and New Zealand's largest man-made forest, arriving at the foot of the Tarauila volcano, and then onwards. Climb the rim of the massive crater. In addition, you can also parachute down to the crater, or climb to the top of the 1111-meter-high mountain by yourself, and you will have the opportunity to see rare wildlife along the way.
