Stunning aerial and drone footage of Taupo and the local region with superb action-packed things to do. This video showcases the best that Great Lake Taupo has to offer. Outdoor activities include sailing to the Mine Bay Maori rock carvings with Sail Barbary, water sports on Great Lake Taupo, Skydiving with TTS and the wildly exhilarating bungy and swing with Taupo Bungy. Explore the mighty Waikato River as it thunders over the Huka Falls, New Zealand's most-photographed tourist destination. A little further downstream, the Aratiatia Rapids (where the famous scene in the 'Hobbit' was filmed) can be seen up front on a jet boat ride with Rapids Jet. The Aratiatia Dam controls the flow to many hydro-electric power stations along the 107km Waikato River Trails. The trails are perfect for long mountain bike rides, or broken into sections as hikes along the banks of the Waikato River. Further north, the Tongariro National Park is home to one of the world's best one-day hikes - the Tongariro Crossing. This forms part of the Tongariro Northern Circuit, a 44km loop around Mt Ngaruahoe, one of New Zealand's Great Walks. The ice-melt from this beautiful park feeds the Tongariro River, where you can white-water raft with Tongariro River Rafting. It's also a world-famous trout fishing river. These are just a few of the amazing outdoor activities that the Taupo region has to offer and our two river-front apartments are the perfect base from which to explore this beautiful lake-front town.
