Discover Taupō on Foot

Guided and self-guided hiking experiences through native forest, volcanic landscapes and hidden corners of Lake Taupō.

Explore Beyond the Beaten Track

Discover some of the Taupō region’s most spectacular landscapes on foot. From the native forest, hidden bays and lake views of the Great Lake Trails, to the powerful waters and riverside scenery of the Huka Falls River Trail, there’s a walk for every kind of adventurer.

Our hiking packages are guided, giving you the benefit of local knowledge while we take care of the logistics along the way. The exception is our Waihora experience, which can also be enjoyed self-guided for those who prefer to explore at their own pace.

Looking for a bigger adventure? We also provide a shuttle service from Taupō to the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, making it easy to experience one of New Zealand’s most iconic day hikes while leaving the transport to us.
