Reviews of Rangatira Park Lookout

R. L.

Decent views. Acts as a rest point more than anything

G. R.

Great view. We will bring the kids here foe sure

B. D.

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

D. C.

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

l. m.

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.

T. M.

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

R. I.

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

C. W.

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.

C. K.

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

A. A.

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!

K. K.

Nice scenic look out. Great view

G. K.

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

B. S. R. V.

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

T. D.

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.🤠

D. C. (.

Nice view, not much more to say about it

S. M. S.

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

S. H.

Nice soot to relax before i head home

C. H.

Nice view and very quiet for where it is

S. K.

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.

C. A.

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

G. J.

Great view on a clear day

A. S.

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

T. R.

Nice views worth going for a look.

c. p.

Great spot to walk your dog

L. v. G.

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

W. M. H.

panoramic view! awesome!

N. N.

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

M. L.

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.

S. D.

+ 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

M. R.

Love the view of lake from here

O. W.

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

A. J. E.

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.

S. H.

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.

N. B.

It’s just breath taking

K. F.

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

J. B.

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

S. D.

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!

F. L.

such an amazing view point of taupo

Y. P.

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.

A. H.

Can't beat the view of the lake.

k. p.

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

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

(Translated) Although it is a scenic spot that can be reached by a short walk, it is still full of surprises to the lake in front of you. It is still a place for boating, it must be very exciting! (Original) 雖是走一小段路就可以到達的景點，依然對眼前澎派的湖水充滿驚喜，這裡還是個泛舟的地方，一定很刺激！
