About
Back in the 1880s, there were few roads in Taupo. Goods were shipped across Lake Taupo from Tokaanu Wharf.
Regular boat services stopped in the 1920s but this piece of Kiwi history lives on. In 2003, the wharf was lovingly restored with original beams and decking.
Tokaanu Historic Wharf is one of the hidden gems of Taupo. It's a beautiful spot for fishing, a picnic or for a walk. The calm waters and stunning mountain background make for a great photos during the day or at night.
