Lake Waikaremoana

A picturesque body of water known for its scenic hiking trails and formed by a landslide over 2,000 years ago in New Zealand's North Island.

Tips from the community

Lake Waikaremoana is a great trek to do with a group of friends. In high season, call ahead and book a cabin to stay in. They are fairly well maintained and cheap to stay in. Otherwise, pack a tent just in case. The trail is a circuit that takes 3-4 days to complete, but you could definitely stretch it out to a full work week. There are so many view points to stop and enjoy. Lake Waikaremoana is ideal for families as it's not too difficult and kids under 17 years old get free admission. Dogs unfortunately are not permitted on the trail.
