Scenic Cruises on Lake Taupō

Lake Taupō is in the middle of the North Island and is the biggest lake in Australasia. On a clear day the snow capped volcanic peaks of Tongariro National Park provide a spectacular backdrop to the lake.

The best way to enjoy it is to book a sightseeing cruise on Lake Taupō with White Striker Charters.
