Paddleboarding tours in the Taupo region of New Zealand provide a unique and memorable experience for visitors. One such recommended tour is the paddleboarding excursion to the Lake Taupo Māori carvings by Out There, ideal for those with limited time or new to the area, especially on a calm, sunny day.
There are two main options available for this tour: guided and self-guided. For those without their own equipment, Taupo Kayaking Adventures offer guided tours or kayak rentals for a self-guided experience. Alternatively, Sail Barbary and Taupo cruises, sailing & water tours provide yacht or motorboat cruises for a different perspective.
The highlight of the tour is the impressive 10-meter high Māori carving, a significant cultural landmark completed over four summers in the late 1970s. Alongside the carvings, visitors can take in the stunning scenery of Lake Taupo, a highlight of New Zealand's central North Island. To unwind after a day on the water, Taupo DeBretts Holiday offers relaxation at its popular resort with mineral hot pools.
