Motuoapa Cliff Lookout

Taupo Walks

The track heads up to the volcanic cliffs behind Motuoapa to a wooden viewing platform. The lookout offers excellent views of Stump Bay, Motuoapa Peninsula, the wetlands and Lake Taupo. Please treat the area with respect as it is of cultural importance to the Ngati Tuwharetoa people. Return via the same track, or, for a slight variation during the descent, continue along a path which leads to the north end of the settlement and return alongside the state highway to the track entrance. (15 -20 minutes). The starting point is up Tangitu St.
