Lake Tikitapu: Swimming, Lakeside Trails & The Blue Water View

Skip the thermal crowds and head here for a summer swim or the easy 5.5km loop track. The water is actually bright turquoise because of the white rhyolite bottom, making it better for photos than most Rotorua spots. Spend two hours here or book the Duck Boat tour to splash directly into the water from the ramp. Bring a towel and avoid the busy weekends if you want any peace at the picnic tables.
