Enjoy the Great Outdoors with a Taupō E-Bike Tour

Starting your journey at Taupō Marina, you’ll be fitted with your e-bike and given a quick run-through before setting off on the Great Lake Walkway. The smooth, wide path makes it ideal for riders of all levels, offering incredible views of Lake Taupō’s shimmering waters. Look across the lake and you might spot the snow-capped peaks of Ruapehu, Tongariro, and Ngauruhoe – famously known as Mt Doom from The Lord of the Rings.

Along the way, your guide will point out geothermal spots bubbling near the shoreline and the impressive Te Atea carving, crafted from ancient tōtara wood. Keep an eye out for local birdlife, from elegant black swans to playful ducks gliding across the water. The track passes through colourful flower beds and grassy picnic areas, creating a peaceful lakeside atmosphere that’s perfect for a leisurely ride.

Enjoy a Peaceful Pause on Your Taupō E-Bike Tour

Halfway through your tour, you’ll stop at a lakeside café where the aroma of freshly brewed coffee drifts through the air. Sit back with your favourite cup—perhaps a flat white or an iced coffee—and soak up the tranquil views of boats drifting by and the lake glistening in the sunlight. It’s a relaxing pause that adds a delicious touch to your Taupō adventure.

Refreshed and re-energised, you’ll continue along the scenic pathway as your guide shares stories about the lake’s volcanic past and its deep cultural significance to the Māori people. Local sculptures and artworks line the route, each piece telling a story of Taupō’s rich heritage. With native birdsong in the background and crisp alpine air filling your lungs, it’s an unforgettable way to experience the heart of New Zealand’s North Island.
