When I took over the original 'kayak to the carvings company' in Lake Taupo, I combined three of my passions – the outdoors, kayaking, and people. Originally known as Wilderness Escapes, I renamed the business Taupo Kayaking Adventures to capture the essence of what we were offering – tailored adventures around this beautiful and historic area. I have continued the proud traditions of Wilderness E
scapes and its commitment to the highest quality service, with safety paramount at all times. With a team of experienced, passionate guides, our adventures are open to everyone – from a single kayaker or walker, to a small group – families, friends, clubs, corporates, school or church groups, through to backpackers and camper-van travellers, from beginners to experienced kayakers. Choose one of our core tours, or let us help you design a trip tailored around your interests, and how you want to experience our stunning region. Our purpose-built trailer means we can access many major waterways around Taupo, and transport can be arranged to all entry and exit points, offering a greater level of flexibility. We love to share this magical part of New Zealand, and give people their own unforgettable experience.
