Lake is stunning, great equipment and guidance. Only negative was the weather turned bad which made getting to the Maori Carvings harder than anticipated. Great muffins on our break.

We rented kayaks to check out the Maori rock carvings which were neat. The company provided us with a laminated map which was useful. Lake Taupo is beautiful!

I hired a kayak for a day which was pretty uncomplicated and fast so I could start my trip early (which was nice!). Just the price was a little high but okay ($50 for 4 hours).

The ferries interfered with our view but a great way to see the lake.

The scenery at Lake Taupo was breathtaking, but unfortunately the tour guide was really impatient and very rude.
At the end of the trip, he took all of our belongings from the dry bags without our permission whilst we were changing suits. Luckily, we did some checking and found out that he left one of our mobile phone and a watch in the dry bags.
Would NOT recommend this trip at all!
Taupo Kayaking Adventures responds:
We are very dissapointed to receive your feedback, and can only apologise for the guides behavior on that day, as you can see from our other reviews, this is not a regular occurance.
We pride ourselves on excellent customer service and have not had feedback like this before. We can not apologise enough for your experience, and would appreciate if you have the time to contact us as we would like to know what date your trip was so we can ensure that this never happens again.
Congratulations Taupo Kayaking Adventures

Wilderness Escapes kayaking is a must do if your in Taupo. This was the first time my family and I had been kayaking and we had a fantastic time and definitely want to do it again. The guide was great, we picked up how to do it in no time! The commentary was also very interesting. The other great thing is you are able to explore the shoreline that you cannnot access or see by car.
