Get business done with native birdsong and a healthy dose of vitamin D! Starting in Kinloch, it is a relatively easy 10km walk through a native bush track overlooking Lake Taupō. Arriving at Kawakawa Bay, the bay is a near semi-circle of water on Lake Taupō with a narrow shore of grass and a stony beach. The trail takes about three hours.
Chris Jolly Outdoors will be waiting to whisk you onto the water, past the Māori Rock Carvings at Mine Bay and back to the Lake Taupō Marina.
The Chris Jolly Cruise Cat is a luxurious 52 ft Catamaran boat available to charter. Perfect for both corporate conferencing and events, with a spacious capacity of 90 people.
The best charter boat available in Lake Taupo (in our opinion) is able to host varied events, with a fully licenced and stocked bar, dance floor and professional sound system. If you haven’t been out on this boat, you haven’t experienced the best Lake Taupō has to offer.
We’ve served some of the biggest offsite conference entertainment evenings in the region, so we understand exactly what it takes to pull off a stunning event on the water.
Open all year round, Taupo’s fisheries include:
The rivers and streams consist of small pebbly and sandy bottoms through to larger, heavy flowing river waters. These can be found anywhere from 10 to 45 minutes out of Taupo central business district.
The trout species are rainbow and brown trout with an average weight of 1-2 kilos, with larger trophy trout up for grabs to the lucky few each season. Escape with your team today.
From beautiful lake views, to fishing crystal pools, to scenic hikes in the central North Island wilderness; Chris Jolly Outdoors are the go-to guides to tick off that bucket list.
In Taupō, the adventure possibilities are truly endless. We guarantee one thing – we’ll create a memorable experience for you that you’ll treasure forever.
