Whether you're flying solo or with a couple of friends, as long as you weigh over 70 kgs, you're ready for takeoff. Feel the excitement build as you’re lifted off the back of our boat to soar gracefully through the air up to 1000ft above the lake. Truly magical!

Each flight lasts for a thrilling 12 minutes and offers the option of a 'freefall' descent for the adrenaline enthusiasts near the end of your flight where you’ll have the option to take a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear lake waters during the Sky Dip experience. Gently ascend into the sky, trailing behind the boat, and take in the serenity of the skies. While you drift through the clouds, soak in the panoramic views of Lake Taupo and the beautiful waters below.

It's an adventure that promises both excitement and serenity, providing unforgettable memories of your visit to Taupo.

Best day EVER!

4 of us were parasailing 3 of us and a dog waiting for them. So glad we went along to watch! These guys made it just as much fun to to stay behind. Got the dog and myself on the boat to go out with the kids whe were parasailing. The kindest, happiest bunch of souls ever! Highly recommend these folks. They were just lovely!

Go pro camera

Hi, it was terrible moment when we had spent $70 on videos and photographs, they gave us empty card for photographs and videos. I was so excited to upload my videos and photographs on Facebook but they made my experience bad.

Fantastic Experience

Absolutely stunning view and experience. We had walked up Mpunt Tauhara the day before so it was extra special to look across and see the scenery. The whole team helped us feel relaxed and confident. We totally recommend getting the photo package. Loads of stunning photos of a memorable experience. Dipping your feet in the water is also a must. Zooming around in the boat while the next group had their turn was so much fun too.
