Once you have taken in the beauty of the city, prepare yourself for an exciting splashdown into Lake Titikapu and Lake Ōkāreka. The magnificent spectacle of Mt. Tarawera and flourishing native forests are a bonus! The lakeside community will offer you a new perspective on Rotorua's geography, which changed dramatically over a century ago when the volcano erupted.
