geography
The Tarawera Falls are located 3 km northeast of Lake Tarawera and around 23 km east of Rotorua . They arise from a rock face, to which the Tarawera River runs underground, and plunge from various rock openings up to 65 m into the depth.
Tarawera Falls Track
The hiking trail to Tarawera Falls is only accessible via gravel roads from Kawerau in the northeast and via Rotorua in the west, although the route from Kawerau via Waterfall Road is by far the cheaper connection. At the end of the road there is a parking lot, from which the waterfalls can be reached via a 700 m long hiking trail in a good 20 minutes.
