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.

5.00Loved this tour. First time tour for me & I took my 5 year old as well. It was her first time on a kayak & she really enjoyed her time. It was a beautiful relaxing paddle/float down the River with our guide Eloise who was friendly and amazing. We enjoyed the stop off point & as a whole was well worth it while in Taupō
Worth doing

3.00Canoe & Kayak on arrival were not at all engaged & hardly interacted regarding our trip. On arrival we gave our emails as they were going to take photos, which we have never received, very disappointed as have no memory and we’re advised we couldn’t take our own phones to take pictures. The river was great but our guide never asked if anyone had kayaked before, gave very little advice on how to kayak or what to expect on the journey, the quick guide on how to use the paddle was which was the front and the back. During the trip he didn’t advise which side of the river you needed to be which would have helped. Spent at least 10 mins on the side of the bank waiting to see a bungee jump, were asked if we wanted to swim and if wanted to jump into the water. Everyone answered No as we had booked a kayak trip!! The guide could have spent some time to help improve our skills and interact with us on paddling tips. The biggest help would have been to let us all know that the trip was one way as we were worried about when we needed to turn back. Canoe and Kayak had no people skills and wouldn’t recommend them but the river was great and they could easily make the experience better.
