Adventure Activities in the Lake Taupo Volcanic
Zone
"Taupo rivals Rotorua as the North Island capital of
adrenalised action, with plenty of skydiving, jetboating
and bungy-jumping to set your heart racing like drum 'n'
bass." - Lonely Planet, 2006.
Yes, it's true, Lake Taupo is the adventure capital of
the North Island, with every thrill and Max buzz you could
hope for. Even better, you will be getting your adrenalin
rush surrounded by some of the most spectacular scenery New
Zealand has to offer. This is New Zealand's skydiving mecca
and home to New Zealand's highest water-plunge bungy. New
Zealand's biggest lake is surrounded by rapids and rivers
that are just great to kayak, raft, scuba-dive and float
on. Throw in quad-biking in the volcanic zone amongst
native bush the "wetter the better", heli-biking down the
Kaimanawas, mountain biking at Craters of the Moon and
freaking yourself out on Rock n' Ropes' high ropes course -
an adrenalin holiday made in heaven

adventure.
