Discover the famous Māori Rock Carvings and active volcanic views on a guided kayaking tour of Lake Taupō!
Had a wonderful experience kayaking for the first time. Kahu was a great guide. Highly recommend.
The guide was super nice and professional, I felt safe from the beginning to the end :)
Highly recommended
Die Kajaktour zu den Rockcarvings konnte wegen schlechten Wetters leider nicht stattfinden, stattdessen wurde mir am folgenden Tag eine Tour zum Hidden Lake angeboten. Die wurde zu einem der besten Erlebnisse meiner Neuseelandreise. Wir waren nur zwei Gäste plus Guide. Der See lag wirklich völlig versteckt und es war dort niemand anders. Das Wasser war ruhig und das Paddeln relativ einfach. Nochmal würde ich gleich diese Tour direkt buchen.

Fantastic afternoon
Our afternoon was brilliant, the kayak over to the Māori rock was 4km but the lake was very still and the sun was shining, we got little bits of information about the lake and surrounding area from our guide on the way there. Once at the rock we had plenty of time to take pictures and the guide also took pictures of us in front of it. On the way back we stopped off at some rocks for a swim and a cup of coffee/tea which was a nice addition before continuing the rest of the way back. You go in a mini bus from the shop to the launch location and back again at the end.
