Imagine starting your Tongariro Adventure from your own piece of paradise, surrounded by native bush and bird song, on the shores of majestic Great Lake Taupo. You might never want to leave. Well, imagine no more! Instead, let us host you at our Tongariro Adventures B&B at Kuratau, on the south western shores of Lake Taupo – our Turangawaiwai – our place in the world.

Tongariro Adventures is situated by the lake in the original Kuratau settlement on the peaceful, south western shores of Lake Taupo amid established trees and the sound of birdsong. Mid point between Wellington and Auckland, a pretty special part of the island to break your journey..... and so close to the Tongariro Alpine Crossing. As well as conquering The Crossing, guests often choose to White Water Raft or Fish the mighty Tongariro River; play Golf; Swim; Kayak; Ski at Mount Ruapehu - Whakapapa (40 minutes by car) or Turoa; enjoy the many Bush Walks & Cycle Trails (which cater for all levels fitness and skills)... and much more! When organising guest adventures, Tongariro Adventures employ experienced, audited guides. Tokaanu Thermal Pools, a 10 minute drive, offer hot mineral springs long recognised by Ngati Tuwharetoa as having the "wai ora" (healing waters). Particularly enjoyed by our guests on their way home from The Crossing or Rafting!
