The Lake Taupo area is Unique and Inspiring...
The landscape was formed by volcanic action in the past, creating a wonderful natural sight of mountains, thermal wonderland and the stunning, biggest fresh water lake in Australasia: Lake Taupo. The great lake is one of New Zealand's recreational, cultural, adventure and sightseeing hotspots, offering a range of activities and leisure opportunities.
Some of the best trout fishing in the world can be found here, while the Tongariro National Park offers pristine skiing, great hiking and many outdoor opportunities. Combined with geothermal hot springs and adventure activities such as sky diving and bungy jumping, Lake Taupo is an exceptional place. Only a short drive away you will find even more to enjoy, for instance:
