Spread you wings, take flight, and enjoy swathes of brilliant blue sky as you rise far above Lake Taupo, its dazzling surface receding to a sparkling gemstone below.

Thrill as you brave the foaming whitewater of wild rapids, feel the dizzying rush as you whirl through exciting high-speed spins, or confront the turbulent majesty of Huka Falls up close.
Enjoy stunning vistas as you rise high above Lake Taupo and ascend to a magical realm of dazzling light where the sky opens up and sunlight strikes sparks off of glittering snowfields. Challenge yourself on the volcanic slopes of Mount Ruapehu and take in stunning views as you race down the impressive runs and vertical drops of one of New Zealand’s largest ski fields.
Head out for a day of rushing water and unbound excitement as you discover the ultimate thrill of whitewater rafting action at its best.
