If you're visiting Lake Taupō chances are you'll want to get out on the water.
One of the latest and most striking additions to the Taupō waterfront are Doughboats – doughnut-shaped boats with room for up to six people to cruise the inner reaches of the Great Lake.
Aboard your very own bubble-like boat, you can explore the many bays and hidden coves, leap into the lake for a swim, or enjoy a picnic while bobbing on the waves.
You don’t need a special license to drive a Doughboat – just nominate someone as skipper and set off on your unique lake cruise.
