beautiful lakeside location. loved the views and heated pool. Rooms are a little dated but we're great. Wished we could have stayed longer

I spent 10 days traveling independently in New Zealand, and the most expensive night's accommodation initially seemed not worth it, but I was completely wrong! I came to Lake Taupo to see the lake views, but after driving around, I found that the best view was actually from the small balcony outside my room. I sat there all afternoon and felt incredibly relaxed. The dinner and breakfast here were also delicious. If you happen to stay until Sunday morning, there's even a limited-time small market you can explore! I can only say we were quite lucky.

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!

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.

Great scenic cruise to see the iconic and unique rock carvings on Lake Taupo. Organised and knowledgeable skipper and crew. Very informative history lesson!

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.

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.

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! 😊

What to know before visiting Taupo
What to do in Taupo year-round
Taupo is best known for water activities, followed by cruises, outdoor & sports activities and tours, and the calendar shapes those choices. Klook booking data shows demand peaks in March and stays high through January–April, so water-based experiences and cruises are busiest in those months. Outdoor adventures and sports tend to book across spring and summer, while quieter months bring easier access to popular spots. For travellers deciding when to go, choose between lively peak-season atmosphere or quieter off-peak relaxation — Klook booking data guides which months lean one way or the other.
When to visit Taupo
Demand on Klook peaks in March and is at its quietest in August; prices drift up toward June, so busy months and price peaks don't always match. If you want lower prices and lighter crowds, visit in July or August when demand is much lower and prices are typically lower; for peak-season atmosphere choose March when demand is highest even though prices are mid-range on average. Klook booking data shows where demand and price trends converge or diverge so you can pick atmosphere or savings.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | Peak demand | HKD 593 |
| February | Peak demand | HKD 694 |
| March | Peak demand | HKD 585 |
| April | Busier than usual | HKD 663 |
| May | About average | HKD 741 |
| June | Quieter than usual | HKD 795 |
| July | Very quiet | HKD 281 |
| August | Very quiet | HKD 320 |
| September | Very quiet | HKD 585 |
| October | Quieter than usual | HKD 561 |
| November | About average | HKD 655 |
| December | Busier than usual | HKD 671 |
Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.
Tips for travellers from Hong Kong
Most travellers from Hong Kong book a few days ahead but flexible options are common: experiences on Klook are often booked around 3 days ahead, though some planners book as early as 23 days out. That makes last-minute choices possible, but during March and the busier months it pays to secure popular water activities and cruises earlier. Use Klook to compare dates and lock in experiences when you spot the right combination of price and crowd level, and consider booking sooner for peak-month travel to avoid disappointment.
