Be amazed by the stunning cliff faces and lush native forest. You&#39;ll see some of the most beautiful Taupo scenery as you travel.&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 
While paddling, you&#39;ll pass an array of&nbsp;islands and swimming spots and you&#39;ll even drift past a bungy platform. Extra exciting if someone&#39;s jumping! 
 
After a relaxing paddle, you&#39;ll stop at the natural hot springs where you&#39;ll have the chance to soak in the beautiful mineral water. 
 
Then, it&#39;s time to replenish your energy with a stop for refreshments at the end of the trip.&nbsp;
