Have you been to Lake Taupo in New Zealand?
Lake Taupo, which is the largest lake in New Zealand, is located in the North Island. Around the lake, there are many attractions for holidaymakers,such as Bungy Jumping, Sky Diving, sailing and Hot SPA. But I'd like to share with you my experience, " The Wilderness Escapes".
"The Wilderness Escapes" is the name of a kayaking trip on Lake Taupo.
There are brilliantly experienced guides, full instruction guides and includes all your equipment. Not only does it a tour, you can also have a great experience and make friends during your holiday. Last time, I took a half-day (3hours) kayaking trip. It cost around NZ$85 pp including transport,which is from your accommodation to the Lake, and refreshments.
Why did I try kayaking on Lake Taupo?
My main reason is that I wanted to see the Maori rock carvings. These are only accessible by boat or kayak. I'm experienced of kayaking, so this time was my second experience. The kayaking tour's highlight is the 10 metre tall Maori rock carving which were created in the late 1970s by some local artists.
If you are so fed up with ordinary holidays, I'd definitely recommend this experience and I would say that you won't be disappointed. Summer is the best season to go, because the weather is stunningly beautiful and you can spend a absolutely enjoyable time while kayaking.
Lastly,
I would like to thank Michael,our guide, who shared his fabulous historical knowledge of Lake Taupo, the wild life, and a magnificent scenery. I had a really memorable holiday. I promise, I'll be back there and
I'll try more long distance kayaking trips!!
Would you like to join me?
