Helm your own Doughboat on Lake Taupō
One of the latest and most striking additions to the Taupō waterfront are Doughboats – inflatable doughnut-shaped boats with room for up to six people to cruise the inner reaches of the Great Lake.
Wriggle through a narrow rock crevice to find a naturally-heated waterfall, deep in the bush on the outskirts of Taupō.
On a unique adventure with Taupo Kayaking Adventures, you can take a leisurely paddle through the Tutukau Gorge to reach an enchanted world.
Make your way through the warm, geothermal waters as you inch between rocky crevices, and clamber over boulders to find this remarkable spot.
The Squeeze is aptly named, and if you don’t suffer from claustrophobia, it makes for a great adventure.
At the end are the rewards – a gorgeous waterfall and a naturally-heated bathing pool – just the right place to regather yourself before heading back.
