Corporate Events in Taupō
Chris Jolly Outdoors can cater to all your corporate group needs – we have packages to suit your objectives and budget. With our fleet of four fully equipped boats, we can entertain groups as small as two to up to 140 delegates.
The most beneficial aspect of hosting your team on Lake Taupo is the privacy and exclusivity. Your group will 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

Employees from Fisher & Paykel, BNZ, Bayleys Real Estate, Tenon, Miraka, Hollywood movies, trust boards and thousands of companies have all bonded under the Chris Jolly Outdoors umbrella. Why? We know how to get your team cranking.
On the water we have four private boats and on land we have access to exclusive bush retreats – the perfect options for any type of corporate event.
We partner with major Taupo hotels to provide off site activities, team building exercises and corporate functions to ensure your event in the Central Plateau region is a success. Or if you need a secret rendezvous to discuss strategy, get out of town with us.

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.
