Discover Lake Waikaremoana,
The Sea of Rippling Waters


Waikaremoana, meaning sea of rippling waters in Te Reo Māori, lies in the heart of Te Urewera on New Zealand’s North Island. With its shimmering surface, forest-fringed shores, and hidden trails, this natural wonder offers a powerful sense of peace and connection.


Short walks are a great alternative to the 3-day 'Great Walk'. Tramp less, see and do more. If it's the views, beaches, native trees, waterfalls, and other Waikaremoana experiences you're after, and you're happy to skip the checkbox next to 'Great Walk', then why not spend three nights at the Tuai Suite in comfort and explore Waikaremoana’s amazing short walks instead?


Choose from scenic walks ranging from 30 minutes to full day tramps.
