Sunset Cruises
See Lake Taupō in a Different Light
Experience one of the most beautiful times of day on Lake Taupō with a private sunset cruise aboard Loloma or 38 South. Settle in, enjoy the changing colours across the water and watch the day draw to a close from the lake.
From sunset drinks with friends to romantic occasions and relaxed evening celebrations, a private cruise is a memorable way to finish your day in Taupō.
Sunset on the Water
Leave the shoreline behind as the afternoon turns into evening and enjoy Lake Taupō at a slower pace.
Cruise across the water, take in the surrounding scenery and enjoy the changing light as the sun begins to set. Add drinks and food, celebrate an occasion or simply sit back and enjoy being out on the lake.
Choose Loloma for a relaxed, social sunset cruise with a larger group, or 38 South for a smaller, more intimate premium experience.
