 Skydive Taupo

Taupo's adventure activities make it a great destination for the adventure seeker. For those who like to challenge themselves the Great Lake Taupo region has many thrills, with a real kiwi flavour.

There is an excellent pick of adventure activities for tourists and visitors to Taupo. Test your fortitude on the breath taking bungy jump, or free fall with a Taupo skydive jumpmaster. With more than 30,000 jumps a year, Taupo is THE skydiving capital of the world.

If water is more your thing, try the exciting white water rafting rapids, kayak the Waikato River or go for a high energy spin on the jet boats.

Other adventure activities in the Great Lake Taupo region include quadbikes, paintball, climbing, motorbikes, horse riding, skiing and snowboarding

And don't forget the famous Tongariro Alpine Crossing where you hike through the Land of Mordor to pay homage to Mt Doom. The Crossing is voted the best day walk in New Zealand and one of the best walks in the world so this should definately be on your checklist. 

Whatever the season - summer or winter - Great Lake Taupo can offer you a thrill to suit your courage, and your budget.
