Let’s start with not only one of the best things to see in Taupo, but it’s also one of the free things to do in Taupo NZ- a visit to the stunning cascading Huka Falls. Take the kids to see the amazing sight of more than 200,00 litres of water per second plummeting through the narrow gap of the 11-metre-high waterfall. It’s easy to see Huka Falls. F...
The Taupo Museum is another one of the things to do in Taupo for kids. This is a small yet interesting museum well worth taking the kids to. Here you’ll find exhibits showcasing the region’s local history as well as art displays, a scenic garden and a children’s activity area. And this is also one of the Taupo things to do free for kids! Items on d...
One of the top things to do in Taupo is to check out some of the Taupo thermal attractions. During our visit, we went to Orakei Korako, which Lonely Planet describes as “arguably the best thermal area left in New Zealand”. It’s a fantastic place to visit for those looking for things to do in Taupo for families. Situated just 30 minutes North of Tau...
Photo Credit: Miles Holden Another great way to explore Lake Taupo is to hire a jet ski, kayak or stand up paddleboard. There are a few different places around Lake Taupo where you can hire equipment; you can even hire a boat which would be ideal for a family outing. Places like Lake Fun Taupo hire everything, including boats, paddleboards, watersk...
One of the most fun things to do in Taupo (and definitely on my top 10 things to do in Taupo) is to take a quick visit to the Aratiatia Rapids. Here you will see the dam wall open to release thousands of litres of water, creating the rapids – an absolute true spectacle. To see the rapids, it’s a short drive north of Taupo to the car park. Here you ...
This is a great activity to link with the previous attraction, as the Huka Falls River Cruise departs from the Aratiatia Rapids Carpark and will let you experience the best views of Huka Falls during the 80 minute river cruise. This is the only cruise that will take you to the base of the Huka Falls. The boat stops in the turbulent white water for ...
Whether you’re looking for things to do in Taupo with toddlers, teenagers or all ages in between, a swim in Lake Taupo beach is a must – particularly if you’re visiting in the warmer months. As you can see from the picture above, the water is absolutely crystal clear and is just screaming for you to get in. It’s pretty shallow too, so ideal for fam...
When you’re wondering what to do in Lake Taupo with the kids, I highly recommend spending at least a few hours at Huka Prawn. Huka Prawn Park is just minutes from the Taupo town centre and offers a fun-filled day of entertainment for the entire family. While the main attraction at Huka Prawn Park use to be fishing for prawns, unfortunately, due to ...
If you’re looking for family activities Taupo offers where you can relax for a few hours, take a scenic 1.5 hour cruise on the pristine waters of Lake Taupo. Hop aboard the comfy, heated catamaran and sit back, relax and take in the live commentary from your Taupo travel guide and beautiful sights. The boat is a great size – not overly big, so it’s...
Near Huka Falls, you can find the Huka Honey Hive, which stocks New Zealand’s largest selection of artisan honey products. The Huka Honey Hive offers free samples of honey (awesome if you’re looking for things to do in Taupo for free!!), mead and skincare products. Every person working at the Huka Honey Hive is passionate about protecting our bees ...
