Activity itinerary

Experience the thrill of parasailing high above the crystal-clear waters of Lake Taupō while taking in breathtaking 360° views of the lake, surrounding mountains and, on clear days, Tongariro National Park. After checking in, our experienced crew will provide a full safety briefing before you board our purpose-built 9-metre parasail boat. Your flight begins and ends directly from the rear flight deck, so there's no need to enter the water. Once airborne, you'll soar up to 1,000 feet above the lake, enjoying approximately 10–12 minutes of peaceful flight with unforgettable panoramic views. If you're feeling adventurous, let the crew know and they'll finish your flight with an optional toe dip before bringing you safely back onto the boat. Depending on the number of guests onboard, the total experience lasts approximately 25–60 minutes. Good to know: - No experience is necessary. - Flights depart and land from the boat—no swimming required. - Solo, tandem and triple flights are available, subject to weather and weight limits. - Combined flight weight must be between 70 kg and approximately 200 kg, although limits may vary depending on conditions at the skipper's discretion.
