Discover one of New Zealand's most famous attractions from an entirely new perspective.

Your journey begins at Taupō Boat Harbour, where you'll board our state-of-the-art electric hydrofoil and set off across the crystal-clear waters of Lake Taupō. As the vessel rises above the surface and begins flying on its underwater wings, you'll experience an incredibly smooth, quiet ride unlike any traditional boat tour.

Cruise across the vast expanse of New Zealand's largest lake while taking in panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, native bush, and volcanic landscape. Along the way, your skipper will share stories about Lake Taupō's remarkable history, geology, and cultural significance.

The highlight of the tour is a close-up encounter with the spectacular Ngātoroirangi Māori Rock Carvings at Mine Bay. Towering 14 metres above the water, these contemporary carvings were created by master Māori artist Matahi Whakataka-Brightwell and are accessible only by water. Inspired by the navigator Ngātoroirangi, who guided the Te Arawa people to the central North Island, the carvings have become one of Taupō's most iconic landmarks.

After plenty of time for viewing and photographs, you'll enjoy the return flight across the lake, once again experiencing the sensation of effortlessly gliding above the water.

Perfect for families, couples, visitors, and locals alike, this one-hour experience combines cutting-edge technology, world-class scenery, and one of New Zealand's most significant cultural attractions into a single unforgettable adventure.
