Whether you're flying solo or with a couple of friends, as long as you weigh over 70 kgs, you're ready for takeoff. Feel the excitement build as you’re lifted off the back of our boat to soar gracefully through the air up to 1000ft above the lake. Truly magical!

Each flight lasts for a thrilling 12 minutes and offers the option of a 'freefall' descent for the adrenaline enthusiasts near the end of your flight where you’ll have the option to take a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear lake waters during the Sky Dip experience. Gently ascend into the sky, trailing behind the boat, and take in the serenity of the skies. While you drift through the clouds, soak in the panoramic views of Lake Taupo and the beautiful waters below.

It's an adventure that promises both excitement and serenity, providing unforgettable memories of your visit to Taupo.
