Mt. Tarawera: Crater Runs, Heli-Landings & Volcanic Red Peaks
★4.8(1310)
You cannot hike this solo since it is private Maori land, so book the Guided Volcanic Crater Experience to actually reach the summit. The highlight is the 'scree run' where you sprint down a massive slope of loose volcanic rock into the crater. If you have the budget, the helicopter landing offers insane overhead views of the 1886 rift line. Spend 4 hours here for the hike; bring sturdy boots or the scoria will wreck your sneakers.
