Ever fancied the thrill of skydiving in New Zealand but can't muster the courage? Try parasailing instead. Soar 400 or 800 feet above Lake Taupo for 12 minutes. Departing hourly from the lakefront, you’ll take off and land from the boat’s deck, staying dry or opting for a foot dip—just let your skipper know. For an extra adrenaline rush, try the optional free fall, where you parachute to the water’s surface before being lifted back up. Marvel at the stunning views of Lake Taupo from above and share the ride with mates or family, with tandem and triple parasailing options available.
