Kayaking on Lake Tarawera is the goods, the mountain is quite intimidating and majestic. Lots of good fishing spots and a few nice campsites.

The track around the Blue Lake in Rotorua is very nice. About 5km, good for a quick run and the lake is good for a swim afterwards. There are toilets there.
