Guided Treks

through our stunning region

Take a guided tour through this region to be informed of its culture, history, flora and fauna. This is a history and landscape to enchant you.

There is a choice of guided treks throughout our region which allow you to see our wonderful landscape of changing landscapes and seasons. This is truly a enviroment swept by natures hand, so take a walk through the rainforests and trek the mountain meadows. Take a rest on alpine tussock and gravel plains, or tramp along meandering mountain streams. Enjoy a guided tour to hidden secret lakes, through forests, over pumice shores, and secluded bays. Along rocky cliffs the views are spectacular over Lake Taupo toward towering snow capped mountains and secluded bays. Learn and visit the historical grave sites of the early settlers and visit the old Opepe timber mill.

Taupo guides can inform and educate you with their local history and knowledge.
