A day of adventure in Taupō takes us sailing across Lake Taupō to the Māori rock carvings, with a spontaneous cold-water swim, thermal pools and plenty of family memories along the way.

From experiencing Māori culture and life at Whakarewarewa to exploring geothermal Rotorua, the Redwoods and spectacular Huka Falls, our adventure continues as we head towards Taupō.

Our first full day in Rotorua with two teenage boys takes us from free geothermal adventures at Kuirau Park to bubbling mud pools, thermal foot baths and the incredible Craters of the Moon.
