Recently re-opened, this iconic cruise along a high line above Lake Rotokakahi, or Green Lake, is a stunner.

Very mellow, but full of flow, the trail is part of the Forest Loop. It starts at a clearing a short way along Tikitapu Road, which heads across the forest from Tarawera Road at the lookout between Blue and Green Lakes. 

If you are on the Forest Loop, you will find it after Tangaroamihi, clearly signposted.
