You’ve Most Likely Been On A Boat … But You’ve Never Experienced This!
Grab some friends & book yourselves on Taupo’s Dough Boat

The only experience of its kind in New Zealand

Do you want to be the captain of your own boat? Then rent a donut boat and head off the shore of Lake Taupo in New Zealand’s only donut boats. Grab your wine and cheese, or beer and pizza, nominate your captain from your group (of up to 6 people) and jump aboard! Our boats are super easy and safe to operate and can cruise up to 5 knots. Our eco-friendly Doughboats will take family and friends, young and old, on a unique and fun experience. The electric engine is as quiet as can be so you can enjoy your music on our bluetooth speakers. Book an evening session for a lit up experience, our boats have multicolored lights which enhance your Doughboat cruise all the more. You don’t need any previous experience or a license! Rental sessions are 2 hours long.

We’re New Zealand’s first and only doughnut boats, providing you with an iconic boating experience on beautiful Lake Taupo. Our boats are doughnut-shaped so you can sit around a big table with your significant other or a group of friends.
