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. You can leave your valuables in a secure locked area.

This tour is suitable for children 4yrs+ (each child must be accompanied by an adult). Choose from a selection of double or single kayaks.

Please arrive 15 minutes before your tour is scheduled to depart. Tours run throughout the year in fair weather conditions.
