Your Lake Taupō Experience, Your Way 

Create a private Lake Taupō adventure designed around you. With Loloma and 38 South, Great Lake Adventures can bring together cruising, activities, food, drinks and special touches to create an experience shaped around your group. 

Whether you have a clear idea in mind or simply know you want to do something memorable on the lake, tell us what you’re thinking and we’ll help bring it together. 

Create Something Completely Your Own 

Not every great day on Lake Taupō needs to fit neatly into a set package. 

You might want to start with fishing, stop for a swim, enjoy lunch onboard and finish with drinks as you cruise back towards Taupō. Or perhaps you’re planning a birthday, family gathering, corporate day, proposal or celebration and want an experience created specifically for the occasion. 

Choose the elements that matter to you and we’ll help shape them into a private charter that works for your group, your timeframe and the way you want to experience Lake Taupō. 

Choose Your Vessel 

Loloma 

Classic, Social and Made for Groups 

With capacity for up to 28 guests on day charters, Loloma is ideal for custom experiences centred around bringing people together. 

Her spacious and relaxed setting works particularly well for larger groups, birthdays, family occasions, corporate events, hens and stag celebrations, cocktail cruising and social days on Lake Taupō. 

Build your experience around sightseeing, fishing, drinks, food, swimming or simply spending a few hours enjoying the lake together. 

38 South 

Premium, Private and Personalised 

For groups of up to 12, 38 South offers a premium setting for creating a highly personalised Lake Taupō experience. 

Combine scenic cruising with fishing, watersports, swimming, premium catering, cocktails or sunset cruising, with generous indoor and outdoor spaces and a fully equipped galley providing a comfortable base throughout your charter. 

Whether you want an action-packed day or something completely relaxed, 38 South gives you the flexibility to make the experience your own.

Make the Lake Your Own 

One group might want an easy afternoon of cruising, food and drinks. Another might want to fill the day with fishing, swimming and watersports. Someone else may simply want a beautiful private setting to celebrate something important. 

That’s the advantage of creating your own experience. 

Start with the vessel, the occasion or even just an idea. From there, Great Lake Adventures can help bring together the right combination of activities and time on the water to create a charter that feels like yours.
