Sightseeing

The Mighty Waikato River flows from the Great Lake Taupo - down the river called the Waikato River. See the fabulous historic Huka Falls. Or take a walk from Spa Park to the Falls. Or take a walk from the Falls to Aratiatia Rapids. Great for all the family.

Take a boat trip out on the lake, to the Maori rock carvings iconic to Lake Taupo. These boats are also recommended if you are wanting to get married! Great place for a wedding!

My favourite dinner places

Within walking distance from Gold on Gillies airbnb, this is a great place to chill out, have a pizza (amazing), a few drinks, listen to live music on Sunday afternoons and other advertised music jams.... Right on the lake!

Sports adventure

The BEST Bungy jump in NZ. Jump down over the great Mighty Waikato River. Stunning views, crystal clear water below. You can even be "dipped" in the river. If not Bungy, do the Swing.

Just beautiful.. this parasail on the Great Lake Taupo is spectacular! Pristine crystal clear water, views of the mountains (a bit of snow even in the summer). This activity is for everyone! I've done it, and loved it!
