If you want to see everything Taupō is famous for in one flight, this is it. We combine the falls and geothermal steam of the short flights with the open-water crossing and wild western shoreline of the Western Bays route. Huka Falls, the Waikato River, Aratiatia Dam, the Craters of the Moon, Mt Tauhara, Lake Rotokawa, the Mine Bay carvings, the western cliffs and Kinloch — the full greatest-hits package and the best-value way to take in the whole region.
