Lake Waikaremoana Track

The Lake Waikaremoana Track in Te Urewera National Park is considered one of New Zealand's most beautiful walks, circling the pristine Lake Waikaremoana through ancient native forest. This North Island Great Walk offers stunning lake views, magnificent native forest, and rich Maori cultural history.

The track takes you through some of New Zealand's largest remaining areas of native forest, home to rare native birds and diverse flora.

• Pristine Lake Waikaremoana with crystal-clear waters
• Ancient native forest including giant rimu and rata trees
• Spectacular lake and forest views from Panekire Bluff
• Rich Maori cultural heritage and sacred sites
• Abundant native birdlife including kokako and kaka
• Historic huts and comfortable accommodation

Lake Waikaremoana Track requires advance bookings for huts during the Great Walks season (1 October - 30 April). As the North Island's premier Great Walk, it attracts visitors from both Auckland and Wellington, creating high demand for weekend and holiday periods.
