In 1886, it erupted with incredible violence, creating a column of ash and steam 11kms high, killing 153 people, and burying three villages with 20 metres of mud and ash. Today, Mount Tarawera is considered a Maori sacred site, with three distinct peaks and six craters. Thus, hiking up to the summit of the mountain is a must! It was awesome crater-walking uphill on a rough track. But it was a bummer that we had to try seeing through endless layers of fog, so I couldn’t enjoy the views of all of Tarawera’s peaks and craters, as well as the peaks of some distant volcanoes poking above the clouds. Nonetheless, it was quite an exercise for me and I’d recommend this activity to anyone; however, be sure to keep out on weather to ensure you get the best out of the hike.
