Reviews of Rangatira Park Lookout

Decent views. Acts as a rest point more than anything

Great view. We will bring the kids here foe sure

Fantastic view over Taupō and to the mountains, has picnic tables, rubbish bins and pay to use binoculars. Lots of parking

Dinner date at Lookout...lovely views over lake and mountains

Good place to get a quick photo, especially since it's on the turn off to head down to Huka falls. There are park benches so it's suitable to have a picnic here. Show up here on sunset and it's likely you can get some good photos.

Nice when there's no low clouds, barely saw the lake.

A nice short stop to view Lake Taupo with Mt Tongariro in the background.

Nice easy place to get to, a higher view of the lake, think if you're up for a hike, it'll def be better. But if you don't, this is a driver friendly location.

Great views, you can see Mt Ruapehu on a clear day.

Beautiful view just off the highway, Mr. Whippy ice cream truck was there when we stopped, we were able to enjoy a ice cream with the view!

Nice scenic look out. Great view

A really nice place where you can have a picnic while you are enjoying the amazing view.

Beautiful, a very nice view and close to the mean road.

Lovely views of the mountains and lake, the wide open park for all types of summer fun at the beach. Has toilets and a water fountain and a walking/biking track all the way into town one way and all the way to Waitahanuo the other way. There is also a public gas BBQ and a great kids playground.🤠

Nice view, not much more to say about it

Very scenic town. Big enough for a nice browse through the shops and have a good stroll area around the lake.

Nice soot to relax before i head home

Nice view and very quiet for where it is

What a breath take away place. This easy for walking but the facts you still get idea of Indiana Jones. I mean you must try of the teack a bit to see the hiding treasure. It is super fun for kids and super romance for dating couple (who love walking okey 😂😁) 10/10 amazing.

A nice place for a short rest stop, there is a decked area which is built for wheelchair access.

Great view on a clear day

Nice stop off for lunch. Includes viewing platform, binoculars (coin powered) and one hell of a view

Nice views worth going for a look.

Great spot to walk your dog

A nice view of Taupo. Not especially high up, but still very nice.

panoramic view! awesome!

Summer is the best time to have a wonderful view and colors of nature.

I was here to see the new years fireworks and its a great place to watch them. you can see a lot of Taupo and its beautiful scenery. you can see the lake, the city and mountains from the lookout. There are car parks and an area to sit and look out over the city.

+ Nice view of Taupo and the lake - A bit further from the lake than is ideal for great pictures if you do not have a tele lens

Love the view of lake from here

Great clean area to have a rest and view most of Lake Taupo.

What a wonderful spot. This is the first time we have visited since 2010. This town has grown to such a size. Shops everywhere. The public toilets in Taupo are the BEST in the North Island and well worth 50 cents entry.

It is basically a car park with a viewing platform and what a view.

The Taupo lookout always offers a grand sweeping view of the Taupo township and surrounding area. Unfortunately, many days offer a very cloudy or rainy outlook, so one needs to pick the right day to get some great photos. The autumn colours always accentuate photos taken during that season of the year. It's often quite windy at the lookout which makes selfies a bit challenging with hair blowing in one's face. There are no toilets available at the lookout, but there are two recycling bins and one rubbish bin. There are at least two bench picnic seats with tables as well as a large number of bench seats at the actual lookout itself. There are no trees for shade on the lookout, so during summer one has no shade from the sun. I nearly always stop at the lookout whenever I'm in at Taupo just to spend a few minutes to relax and look at the view. There is a pair of fixed binoculars available at the viewing platform, which cost $2 for a limited period of time. The cost of using the binoculars goes as a donation to the Lions Club in Taupo. The lookout is very popular with tourists so the parking area can often be very congested. The road next to the lookout is very busy so caution and care is advised when exiting the lookout to head ever north or south.

It’s just breath taking

Excellent place to picnic or just chill with good seating and views of the town and lake ,prefect spot .. didn't see any toilets? Something they should put in due to the amount of people arriving to view

Great view of Taupo from here,expansive views. Lake, mountains, snow caps and Mt.Tahara. panama view. Bring your camera. Free parking.

A supreme vantage point to take in the view of Taupo looking south across the Lake and central plateau; ensure you take 5 minutes to "stop smell the roses" here. Magnificent!

such an amazing view point of taupo

If you have a car, just stop by and take a break enjoying a great view of the lake and mountains. If you walk to this lookout, it takes 30-40 minutes away from CBD so grab some water and snacks.

Can't beat the view of the lake.

It's ok . You have to pay to use binoculars but all you can see are house's

Great view of the lake and the mountains to the south

Nice place for Taupo overview.

Good spot for a view of Taupo and the Lake. You only need 10 mins here as you drive to or from the falls. Has a couple of picnic tables

Good vantage point to see the lake and the mountains. Just minutes from the Taupo town centre, on the way to Huka Falls, Wairakei Thermal Pools, Prawn Farm and other local attractions

Awesome view of town and the lake

Great scenery on a good day. Lake Taupo is huge. The town is well kept and looks fresh. A nice spot to take the whole scenery in.

Great spot to chill out & take in the view of Lake Taupō & Mt Ruapehu

A beautiful view of Mountains and Lake

Good view of the town, the lake and the mountains from here on a fine day. Carpark is just off the main road, easy to get in and out of.

Awesome view from the lookout. You can see Taupo from thus lookout. Scenic view and good place to take some photos.

Beautiful view of Lake Victoria from this spot. Well planned building, props to the South African government for their planning. Well worth the visit!

Majestic View's of Lake Taupo and Mountains..

Great spot to veiw the area. Couple picnic tables if you want to stop to eat though not a lot of parking. Not a spot to spend a lot of time there.

A great spot to look down over Taupo town and out towards the lake and mountains. Pick a sunny day for the clearest view.

Nice view to the huka falls. Freaking awesome. Just need at least a visible signage in case someone miss that point.Kids must be supervised with an adult.

Great view

Awesome views of the whole of the lake and town from here. Can get a bit sketchy at night though

Great views of Taupo and the mountains

Good view over Taupo

On a fine day it doesn't get much better with a great view of town, Lake and mountains

A favourite spot for a panoramic view of Lake Taupo and (on a clear day) Ruapehu.

Great view from this lookout. Take care at highway intersection. It's got a high crash rate.

Tidy place to stop and have lunch. Nice view of the lake and mt.

A great view all the way down the lake to the central mountains on a clear day.

Awesome panorama opportunity!! Great views on a good day!!Please tourists and locals use the bins or take trash with you!!:)

Lovely view of the lake and tiwn backed by snow peaked mountains.

Romantic spot. You will see lots of couples there. The look out view was underwhelming.

Pretty cool view with a set of fixed binoculars that can be used for $2

Very good lookout of the whole city and the lake. Definitely should stop by here.

Lovely view of the lake and the snowy mountain behind the hills

Nice not an awesome scenery but can see enough I guess

Taupo is a fantastic place to visit

Fantastic views, great spot for a quick stop lookout

Nice place for a good lookout to see lake taupo ... add more exciting things ....

Stop here to take that iconic photo of the lake and mountains. No toilets or other facilities.

A beautiful place to stop and admire the Lake and the mountains

I can see the lake from here, great view

Very very beautiful sight view.🎅🎁♥️

It wasn't a particularly good day weather wise but the bonus was free binoculars once we had released the coin somebody had jammed in there.
