Highlight of our Trip
Amazing experience we (my daughter and myself) didn't't want to hop out. Great for young children who have no or minimum experience too! Loved that the kayak is see through too. And we stopped for a swim too. We will definitely do it again. Thanks team!

Easy Paddle Down River
We had a lazy paddle down the river with a swim under the Taupo Bungy and then another at the river side natural hot pools. The water was crystal clear and we had great weather too. Glenn was a great guide, who made sure we didn't go off track...too much :-) Recommend this to anyone who likes some mild adventure and chilling out while floating (and paddling) down a river with beautiful scenery all around.
