Tổng quát

Vé di động

One of Taupō’s best kept secrets… the sheer beauty and tranquillity found on the crystal-clear waters of the Waikato River will take your breath away. Begin your kayaking journey at the source of NZ’s largest river and drift past various islands, nature reserves, swimming spots, the drop zone of Taupō Bungy before swimming or soaking your feet in warm geothermal pools enroute. This is an extremely scenic, guided tour that is perfect for beginners, families, couples, and friends.

The tour is approx. 1.15 hrs on the water (2hrs return trip including transport) depending on group size and river flow. We start & finish at the store (54 Spa Rd, Taupo), then transport you to and from the river. A 5 minute walk from the store to the river may be required.

No real kayaking experience required. It is more of a float with some paddling than a kayaking effort. But well worth it and enjoyable.
Great day on the river!

An easy paddle downstream, beautiful clear water, with a couple of stops for swimming and a dip in the hot pool. Lovely way to spend a couple of hours on part of the river otherwise hidden from view. Thank you to our awesome guide Glen!
Awesome

Definitely wear swimsuits and flip flops for this, even if you don’t want to swim at the hot water spot. It much easier to get in and out of the boat. We felt very safe and thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Our guide was really knowledgeable too.
A nice relaxing float

This was a lovely scenic trip down a gently flowing river. It was well organised, on time and above all we felt very safe. There were families with young kids and they were well looked after too. It was not hard work and you could float most of it if you wished to. The guides gave good information too
Great fun!

Relaxing row along a beautiful lazy river with a friendly knowledgable guide. Me and my wife took the early session which ended up being essentially a private tour. Eloise was lovely and shared some interesting facts and took photos for us.
