Join Claire, Harper ( 8 ) and Jayde (12) for an overnight adventure at Hot Water Beach Campsite, Lake Tarawera.
We’re keeping it simple - at 9am we’ll load our bags, tents, and chilly bins onto the water taxi so they’re taken straight to camp.
Then it's lighter going with a daypack along 15km the scenic Tarawera Trail. Expect 5–6 hours of walking (for fit kids) with plenty of spots to stop for a swim and take in the lake views.
The trip suits a mix of walking abilities - you can walk in, walk out, do both, or take the water taxi one way.
Arrive at camp, soak in the natural hot pools, have a relaxed dinner, and watch the sunset over the lake. On Sunday morning, we’ll cruise back across the lake by water taxi to end the adventure.
