What you can expect

Welcome to Taupo Sailing Adventures, where luxury meets adventure in the heart of New Zealand's North Island.
Travel aboard Tiua, Taupō Sailing Adventures’ luxurious sailing catamaran and cruise Great Lake Taupo in comfort and style.

Our sailing experience departs from Taupo Marina and offers a quiet and gentle way to connect with the natural beauty of Lake Taupo. With her stable twin-hull design, Tiua provides a smooth ride and plenty of space to stretch out and enjoy the journey.
Our catamaran is the only boat on Lake Taupo which combines the relaxing feeling of an eco friendly sailing experience with the comfort of indoor and outdoor seating. With the spacious saloon and covered cockpit she is perfectly set up to go out in any weather as you can take shelter from rain, wind, or sun in the saloon and cockpit.

Glide across the water of Lake Taupo to uncover the beauty of the largest freshwater lake in Australasia. Capture pictures of its breathtakingly-clear waters and stunning surroundings of mountains, hidden bays, and the lush green of bushes and trees and explore the impressive Māori Rock Carvings.
Learn from your local and experienced guide about their history and cultural significance.
Stop for a swim in the fresh waters before snuggling up under some blankets on the way back to shore.

Enjoy a complimentary drink or purchase snacks and drinks from the boat's licensed bar.
