Adventure Map

New Zealanders have earned a reputation for their insatiable thirst for adrenaline, and Taupō stands at the forefront of offering every heart-pounding activity that thrill-seekers dream of.

Venture into the alpine wonders of volcanic mountains, where breathtaking views await. Traverse the mighty Tongariro and Waikato rivers, and be captivated by the magnificence of Australasia's largest freshwater lake, alongside more than 20 other enchanting lakes. Experience the power of thundering waterfalls and the allure of ancient native bush, immersing yourself in the adrenaline that this epic landscape provides.

For the ultimate boast-worthy view of the region, take an exhilarating skydive, leaping from a plane and soaring above the mountains, across the lake, and out to the stunning coast. To test your nerve further, challenge yourself to leap from the highest water-touch bungy platform in the country, plunging into the crystal-clear waters of the Waikato River.

In Taupō, adventure knows no bounds. Feel the rush as you hurtle down slopes on snowboards or toboggans, or race across rivers in a thrilling jet boat ride. Embrace the adrenaline rush as you bounce through rapids on a white-water rafting expedition, race V8 supercars, or judder along challenging bush tracks on a quad bike.

If you seek an unforgettable adrenaline-fuelled experience, Taupō is the ultimate playground. Brace yourself for an array of daring escapades that will leave you with lasting memories and a renewed appreciation for the exhilaration that life has to offer.
