Couldn't recommend Taupō V8 Trike Tours more!!
I've been living in Taupō for nearly 3 years, and somehow I still haven't seen some of the highlights our town has to offer. Daz was such great company, super friendly, and the tour itself was absolutely amazing! Highly recommend hitting them up for a ride this summer.
