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.

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

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

Lovely clean room that had everything we needed for a few days away. Very friendly staff and it was so nice having the hot pools there. You do have to pay separately for the pools (and extra again for the slides) but it wasn't too much and it was good to be able to come and go during the day.

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!

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.
