Things to Do in Kawerau

• Fishing
  There are plenty of rainbow and brown trout in the nearby lakes and rivers.
• Walks
  There are many different walks to do in this area. The Stoneham walk is an easy walk, suitable for children and the elderly. It follows the lovely Ruruanga Stream, and passes through Stoneham Glade with its scented garden. The Tarawera River Bank Walk provides a link to Tarawera Forest from State Highway 34.
• Tarawera Falls
  The beautiful Tarawera Falls are nearby. A short walking track will take you to a viewing platform from which you will see the falls tumble over the cliff face. Following heavy rain the falls gush heavily but at other times the water level is noticeably less, although nonetheless pretty.
• Tarawera River
  This river, which eventually becomes the falls, is great for kayaking, white water rafting and fishing. There are gentle stretches to this river, but other parts can get quite busy and exciting.
• Golf
  There is a flat, 18-hole golf course near the Tarawera River that has great mountain views.
