Hiking and River Sledging Tour

A crater hike at Mount Tarawera and sledge experience on the Kaituna River

Duration: 7 hours 30 minutes

This tour will offer you with two outdoor adventures – a hike to a volcanic crater and a sledge experience on Grade 3 rapids. You'll get to admire the beautiful scenery as you climb Mount Tarawera and explore the crater. Later, you'll come across rapids of the Kaituna River as you try sledging, an exciting way to ride the white water with a board and flippers.
