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.

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.

Beautiful scenery, great service, and a very relaxing atmosphere. We enjoyed every minute of it. If you're considering a boat tour, don't hesitate to book this one!

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!

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
Taupo highlights and rhythms
Taupo is best known for Water activities, followed by Cruises and Outdoor & sports activities, with Tours also appearing in bookings. The busiest time of year centres on March when demand rises sharply, while August is the quietest month, according to Klook booking data. If you like lakeside adventure and water-based experiences, plan around the town’s seasonal rhythm: high-season energy in March and surrounding summer months, and far calmer conditions through August and September. Decide whether you want peak-season buzz or quieter waterside days. Based on Klook booking data.
Best months to visit Taupo
Demand peaks in March and stays elevated in January and February, while late winter months show the lowest activity; this comes from Klook booking data. Prices move through the year too: median paid prices on Klook are lowest in July and then climb to a priciest point in June the next cycle. Where demand and price align, expect a lively, more expensive scene around the start of the year; for lower prices and much quieter conditions, the July–September window is best. Choose July–September for lower prices and smaller crowds, or March for peak atmosphere.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | Peak demand | MYR 308 |
| February | Peak demand | MYR 361 |
| March | Peak demand | MYR 304 |
| April | Busier than usual | MYR 345 |
| May | About average | MYR 385 |
| June | Quieter than usual | MYR 414 |
| July | Very quiet | MYR 146 |
| August | Very quiet | MYR 166 |
| September | Very quiet | MYR 304 |
| October | Quieter than usual | MYR 292 |
| November | About average | MYR 341 |
| December | Busier than usual | MYR 349 |
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 Malaysia
Most travellers book close to arrival: experiences typically get reserved around 3 days ahead, while the earliest planners book about 23 days out, according to Klook booking data. That means you can be flexible and still find options at short notice, but during the March peak it pays to lock in popular water activities and cruises earlier. Use Klook to secure timed experiences and check refundable options if your plans change. Book popular dates sooner in peak months, or stay flexible and choose last-minute deals. Based on Klook booking data.
