Things to do in Taupo

Visiting Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland was fantastic. Our driver, Herns — 86 years old — was incredibly humorous, attentive, and provided great commentary throughout the journey. He drove very smoothly, which made the trip even more enjoyable. The vehicle was the most comfortable we experienced in New Zealand. If you’re heading toward Taupō, this is definitely the transport to book!

Seamless experience checking in, getting our life jackets, taking our photo and getting on the boat. Our guide was phenomenal, funny, great tricks and took us as close to Hukka Falls which was amazing to see so close.

Great experience, but a small family run business. the ship is a camataran which is an added bonus.

a beautiful vessel with wonderful crew. the trip was so peaceful but once we got to the carvings it was a whole other level. the art was fantastic. also got an opportunity to swim in the beautiful fresh water of Lake Taupo, jump off the bow and roof of the catermaran

instructor: Travis Funnell was friendly and made me feel at ease while jumping with him! safety: it wasn’t my first time skydiving but they are super safe! lots of checks in place and even have an oxygen mask as you go higher up in altitude experience: 10/10. would do it again in a heartbeat!

Nice relaxing activity...the boat is mostly covered so it would be fine even on a rainy day or cold day. They don't crowd the boat so it was a comfortable ride.
