Rivers & Lakes

Fun on the River and Lakes

There are two lakes very close by - Lake Otamangakau and Lake Rotoira, and the Tongariro, Wanganui and Whakapapa rivers traverse this region, providing tonnes of fun - especially during the hot summer months.

Find a calm river pool to bathe in, rush down mighty rapids on a rafting adventure, take a kayak tour of the stunning waterways or board a relaxing lake cruise.

Walk to secluded waterfalls and rapids within just 15 minutes of stepping on a track.

We even have our 'own' waterfall right here at Tongariro Holiday Park - just take a short walk behind our property and you're there!
