Traveller's Compass: Taupo, Rotorua, New Zealand-Exciting Rafting

Located in the centre of the North Island is the stunning Rotorua - Taupo region. This region is popular all year round, with activities such as world-renowned trout fishing, skiing, pristine native bush walks and treks, and of course relaxing in the geothermal hot springs.

Lake Taupo has so much to offer. Of course it's famous for rafting. Rafting gives guests an amazing North island rafting experience. From scenic half-day, grade II raft and duckie (inflatable kayak) trips down the stunning Mohaka river valley to multi-day expedition trips which bring people into the heart of untouched New Zealand backcountry.
