Corporate Events in the Central Plateau region
Chris Jolly Outdoors can cater to all your corporate needs to suit your objectives and budget. With our fleet of 4 fully equipped boats, we can entertain groups as small as two up to 140 delegates.
The most beneficial aspect of hosting your team on the Lake is the privacy and exclusivity. Once staff are on-board, they have to stay for the duration and mingle! Add in fishing, paddle boarding and clay bird shooting, and you have a recipe for fantastic memories for all those involved.
“Employees are a company’s greatest asset – they’re your competitive advantage. You want to attract and retain the best; provide them with encouragement, stimulus, and make them feel that they are an integral part of the company’s mission.”
— Anne Mulcahy

Nature’s ultimate boardroom
Sitting staring out at a vista of bush is not a bad location if you have some office work to do… Off the grid and only a 50 minute drive from Taupo CBD, there is an opportunity for you and your team to get serious about business without distraction. 10,000 acres of lush New Zealand bush, a wonderland of nature, and you. A full board room, accomodation, kitchen amenities and the only sound akin to a phone ringing is a wood pigeon singing in the woodland. By invite only, as once the secret is out you’ll be wanting to return year in year out.

Saying thank you
How do you truly thank someone? The Christmas gift basket is gone in a week and the bonus is spent and done.
How about choosing to give your high performing staff a memory? An experience? A once in a lifetime opportunity to remember you by. Thanking your team with a bespoke personal adventure is the lasting gift that they’ll cherish forever. Some ideas are:
Send your keen anglers on a helicopter trip to experience fly fishing in the hills
Create a two-day outdoor experience incorporating everything about the New Zealand outdoors we love
Pack their bags and send them into the bush so they have to switch off, stare at the stars and find themselves again
Charter their own personal entourage on the boat to enjoy a day of fishing, scenic touring and relaxations.
Whatever your budget, let us create something unique, exclusive and personal that speaks to the people that you appreciate from the heart.
Testimonials
“Your entire team are absolute gems, no doubt about that. Every request was catered for, and how you worked those activities logistically was astonishing. One group was biking, the other rafting, boating and hiking – the team are still talking about it – they were fizzing!.”
“Our conference group hired the boats for a break out dinner. There were 100 of us, and it was amazing. Fishing, karaoke, games on board and the food was incredible – thanks guys for looking after our team”.
“We had a really important strategy meeting and your suggestion to do it ‘off grid’ down in the bush was exceptional. I didn’t expect a flash board room in the middle of nowhere to produce such results from my team. Because of the lack of distraction, we got a tonne of work accomplished, and the breakout survival hike, target shooting and overnight stay was the icing on our cake. Expect us back again”.
“These guys know how to throw a party!”
“My top five employees thoroughly enjoyed your incentive weekend. Most had never fished before, and by the end of it, all had some pretty tall tales in the office. I’m sure the Browns down there aren’t that big – but they are in sales after all!”
