Buried Village of Te Wairoa: 1886 Eruption Ruins & Waterfall Walk

Walk through excavated Māori and settler cottages frozen by the Mount Tarawera eruption. It takes about an hour to loop the archaeological sites before hitting the Te Wairoa Falls trail—don't miss the 30-meter drop at the end. If you want the full perspective, the boat-based eco tour shows you where the legendary Pink and White Terraces actually sat. Buy the $16 entry ticket online to breeze in; it’s hauntingly quiet on weekday mornings.
