The walk is found in Rainbow Mountain Scenic Reserve, situated 26 kilometres from (15 minute drive) just off State Highway 5 as you head towards Taupo. Opposite the car park is the small Lake Okaro which has a small picnic area.

Here's our guide to the walk:

Just a short drive from central , The Village is the most visited archaeological site in New Zealand.

On a very cold night in June 1886 the tiny settlement of Te Wairoa was buried under boiling mud and the world famous 'Pink and White Terraces' were lost forever when Tarawera erupted.

The village has been uncovered and visitors can see how Maori and early settlers lived their lives together. They can also see what the mud destroyed and yet so wonderfully preserved.

Experience rail like never before. With nothing ahead of you but the unobstructed curve of the rail stretching out into the distance, the scenery drifting by and the clickety-clack of the rail beneath you.

Commonly known as "Hospital Hill", Pukeroa is a key historic site on the walkway. This area was used by local iwi (tribe) Ngati Whakaue for many generations as a fortified village and garden. The area was gifted by Ngati Whakaue as a sports and recreation reserve in 1881. In 1916 a military hospital was built to treat returning soldiers from WWI. The reserve holds significance for the local iwi as it contains Urupa (burial) sites though human remains were removed some time ago.

Walking time: 10 minutes. Getting There: Starts on Ranolf Street, along Hospital Hill, finishing at Tutanekai Street.

Part of the Walkway ... You will pass through residential suburbs as you follow the stream. The water is stocked with trout and is therefore a popular spot to fish. You will pass by the Otamatea and Mangakakahi tributaries before coming to the Kuirau Park section.
