Great Lake Taupō is a mountain bikers’ paradise.

We have everything you need for your biking adventure: bike hire, helmets and personal locator beacon.

Hiking Trails

The Taupō and Ruapehu areas are home to some of the best walks in New Zealand. Whether you wish to challenge yourself with multiday bush or alpine  tramps or just experience New Zealand on shorter one day or half day walks this area has it all. A real highlight is the iconic Tongariro Alpine Crossing, often rated amongst the best one day walks in the world. However there is so much more on offer, with 100% pure lakes and rivers, pristine forests and alpine tussock lands featuring in our beautiful part of the world.
