If you are searching for the perfect getaway activity, chartering a boat on Lake Taupō with Chris Jolly Outdoors is the ultimate escape. From absolute relaxation, treasured family moments to throwing exclusive parties with music blasting, the possibilities are truly endless.

Regardless of your occasion, one thing is certain, we’ll create a space for you and yours that you will remember forever.

Founded in 1980 by the Jolly family, our team loves the great outdoors in Taupō, New Zealand and sharing that with people like you. People who love fishing, hunting, getting lost in the wilderness, having a few drinks on the boat and telling tall tales with a glass of red wine under the stars. People who like a hearty meal, a smiling face when they’re getting served, and to sing a bit of Queen when they’ve had a few too many. People like you, who want to remember their life for what they did and the stories they lived.

Our business is built on having good boats, expert guides who know a trick or two and a great team who know how to show you a great time while you’re in town. It’s all about New Zealand’s natural environment, the native bush, the clear water, the fish and animals that live here; and more importantly the people that don’t… so you can get away from the world that’s nagging you.
