Our Tongariro Adventures Lodge is a sheltered sun trap, surrounded by bush and bird song, yet only 100 metres from the beautiful Kuratau beach of Lake Taupo.
Strategy for dealing with Covid-19.
What Tongariro Adventures will provide our Guests:
1. Linen: All bed linen and bath towels are freshly washed and dried through a process called thermal disinfectant, where the temperature reaches a level that will not allow the spores of the Covid-19 to survive. This process is approved by ‘Assure Quality,’ the overseeing body of the food quality industry.
2. Sanitation of surfaces: In accordance with best practice as required by the Ministry of Health, all heavy use surfaces, including bathroom surfaces, power switches, door handles, table tops, cabinets are cleaned and sanitised by our trained staff.
3. Hand Sanitiser: Freely available to all guests during their stay. Tongariro Adventures supports the International protocol of self-care through correct hand washing to limit the spread of the Covid-19 virus.

Sustainable tourism is at the heart of our activity. All the Adventure Operators we work with in our area adhere to this mantra.
Guests can access Tongariro Adventures Kayaks and Stand up Paddleboards at discounted rates.
I operate a Shuttle Service to The Tongariro Alpine Crossing, other Department of Conservation areas and surrounds. My shuttle is private hire so will work to your timetable where possible.
I offer a shuttle Service to Taupo Airport, Turangi and Taupo Bus terminals and National Park at a pre agreed fare.
