CHRIS JOLLY OUTDOORS

Present in Taupō for over 40 years, Chris Jolly Outdoors knows the region inside out and offers a wide range of services to help you discover it. The expedition the team leads most often (5 times a day) is to the Maori carved rocks at Mine Bay. The cruise is gentle, the guides' comments and explanations are interesting, and a small snack (or second breakfast, as the case may be) is provided on board with homemade muffins and hot drinks. Other services include guided hikes and introduction to trout fishing.
