Mount Tarawera
Mt. Tarawera last erupted 1886. During the eruption it created a big crater that split opened and destroyed the famous pink and white terraces. To visit the crater you will need a 4WD and you will have to pay the local Maori's a fee to access the top. At the top it is flat as there is a runway that airplanes can land (make sure you clear the rocks first). It is a wonderful sight because on a clear day you can see Mt Edgecumbe, White Island, Lake Tarawera (also known for trout fishing).
