Tarawera Hot Springs are a natural thermal feature located above the Waipunga River near the small settlement of Tarawera, along the Taupō to Napier route in New Zealand.

Visitors can reach the springs via a short walk from the roadside, making them a worthwhile stop on an otherwise scenic drive through rugged hills, valleys, and open plains.

The surrounding landscape adds to the appeal, and the nearby Waiarua Falls lookout — featuring twin waterfalls — is another natural attraction close at hand.
