This 2½-hour Explorer journey departs from Kinloch Marina, only a short and scenic 20-minute drive from Taupō township. Your adventure begins as you cruise across the lake toward the dramatic western bays, where towering cliffs, hidden inlets, and untouched bushlands create a breathtaking backdrop. Along the way, you will visit the impressive Otupoto Falls and other cascading waterfalls tucked into the rugged landscape. At Kotukutuku Landing, you will step ashore for a short bush walk that leads to the top of another waterfall, offering a peaceful moment surrounded by native forest and birdsong.
After your walk, the cruise continues along the coastline, showcasing remote bays and natural rock formations that can only be reached by water. You will pause in a secluded bay to enjoy locally supplied coffee and tea while taking in the quiet beauty of the lake. If the weather allows, there may even be an opportunity for a refreshing swim before you make your way back toward Kinloch. It is a relaxed, scenic journey perfect for nature lovers, photographers, and anyone looking to experience a more peaceful side of Lake Taupō.
