🇳🇿 Rotorua’s Hidden Gem: Mt Tarawera Volcano Hike 🌋

✨ Why This Is SPECIAL: Sacred Māori Land: Private tribal territory—requires a guided tour (book via Kaitiaki Adventures). Dormant But Dramatic: Witness the 6km-long volcanic rift from its 1886 eruption (NZ’s deadliest). Surreal Landscapes: 360° views of lunar-like craters + turquoise lakes with tiny islands! 📅 Tour Details: ⏳ 4.5-hour adventure: 2hr 4WD ride (bumpy but fun!) 2hr guided hike to the summit (1,111m) 💰 Price: $209 NZD (or snag a $99 deal on Bookme—lucky dip!). 🌿 Cultural Note: Respect the mountain’s tapu (sacred) status—no solo exploring! 📸 Photo Ops: Crater edges with steam vents Lake Tarawera’s unreal blue waters Panoramic views of Rotorua’s geothermal belt 💡 Pro Tips: Wear sturdy shoes (volcanic rock is sharp!). Bring water + windproof jacket (it’s exposed up there!). Book early morning tours for best light & fewer crowds. #HikeTheWorld #RotoruaSecrets #VolcanicNZ #MāoriCulture #AdventureTravel
