Stunning Day Out On The Lake

Published on Jan, 2022

We got incredibly lucky with having a beautiful sunny day out on the water, and very calm conditions. The whole experience was food for the soul, made even more magical by the carvings. They truly are a magnificent sight. Loved the opportunity to stop halfway and enjoy a refreshing swim in the lake. The best part however, was the generous and insightful conversation with our tour guide ‘Legend’ along the way. Learning about the rich history of the lake, the surrounding whenua and it’s people was remarkable. Would highly recommend !

Awesome time!

Published on Mar, 2020

Our guide Brett was fun and professional! Also met Lisa, the owner. Both were so friendly! Mountain biked for the first time in my life! Great views for both the mountain bike and kayaking! Loved being on lake Taupo! And lunch was delicious!
