Taupo

This tour exceeded my expectations - Alan was very knowledgeable, passionate and thoughtful, ensuring that we got the best shots and were well taken care of. Most importantly, he was a super careful and safe driver, which is so rare for such long drives. Thank you!

We had an amazing tour experience with Trent! From the moment we met him, he made us feel welcome with his warmth, hospitality, and genuine kindness. He was incredibly accommodating throughout the entire tour and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. What we appreciated most was how knowledgeable he was about the history of the places we visited. He shared fascinating stories and insights that helped us better understand and appreciate each location. Thank you, Trent, for making our trip so memorable. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a friendly, professional, and engaging tour guide. We would gladly tour with him again! 😊

it was an amazing experience. Our tour guides Sandra and Michelle were too good. Very knowledgeable.

The Daily Scenic Lake Taupō Cruise to the Ngātoroirangi Māori Rock Carvings provides a well-organized and comfortable excursion on the water. The vessel is clean, spacious, and equipped with both indoor seating and outdoor viewing decks. The cruise offers clear, informative commentary regarding the history and cultural significance of the rock carvings, alongside great panoramic views of the lake and surrounding landscape. Check-in and boarding at the marina are efficient and straightforward. Overall, it delivers a smooth operation, good commentary, and reliable value for a scenic tour.

The Huka Falls boat ride, the friendly explanations from the guides, and the activity itself were truly thrilling and highly satisfying! If I were to rate just the tour itself, it was such an enjoyable experience that it easily deserves 5 stars. However, there was a significant issue with the photo and video package we purchased additionally on-site. When we checked it at home, the video was of completely different people, not our group, and about half of the photos were mixed with pictures of strangers. It was very disconcerting to find someone else's data when we intended to preserve our precious memories. Fortunately, before leaving for our trip, I revisited the site and spoke with a staff member who acknowledged the mistake and promised a full refund. However, despite receiving confirmation last Thursday that a refund of 45.9 New Zealand Dollars ($45.9 NZD) would be processed, several days have passed, and the refund has not yet been completed, leaving a slightly unresolved feeling. (There might be a delay due to credit card processing, but the process seems a bit slow.) I highly recommend the boat tour itself, but for those purchasing photos or videos on-site, I strongly advise checking immediately to ensure the files are correct. If the refund process is completed smoothly, it would be an absolutely perfect tour.

What better way to celebrate turning a year older (and none the wiser)!! I had the best skydiving partner in Nathan Purver who made a jump from 12000 ft high up in the air seem like a nice, leisurely stroll in the garden. My nerves, which would have otherwise been ballistic, were relaxed AF to say the least, all thanks to Nathan who was as cool as the wind up there! The entire team was extremely nice, warm and friendly who took us through the whole process like day 1 of being kindergarteners. Cannot recommend this place enough.

The staff were very enthusiastic and willing to serve me even before my scheduled appointment. The safety measures are excellent, allowing you to confidently experience complete weightlessness, relax your mind, and relieve all your stress.

An electric sailboat, with sail hoisted in later half journey. Staff were polite and helpful. Overall a good experience.

The captain and crew were both very nice. It's just that the weather wasn't good on the day we went, so it was extremely cold. Coming in the summer would be even more fun. However, older children (10+) who enjoy riding the waves will love this.
