Taupo

The Lake Taupo region displays some of the finest examples of untouched, unspoilt, uncrowded country in New Zealand.

Located on the shores of the largest fresh water lake in Australasia (created by the world's largest volcanic eruption of the past 5,000 years), Taupo is known the world over for its exceptional all year round trout fishing, its adventure tourism and idyllic scenery.

Needless to say Taupo is a busy holiday destination for international and domestic visitors alike with bustling cafes and restaurants, culture, history and natural beauty.

Taupo offers a range of sights and activities to suit all budgets and many interests.

For the adventurer there is spectacular skydiving and bungy jumping to jet boating, wakeboarding and kayaking. Or for the scenic and culturally minded there natural wonders such as Craters of the Moon', an active geothermal field, and the majestic Huka Falls, to explore along with arts galleries, boutique shops and markets.
