Taupo

Taupo

In the lake’s northeastern corner, Taupo (pop 33,000) is the region’s largest town and one of the country’s top resorts. There’s plenty of accommodation and eating options, as well as adventuring such as lake cruises, fishing, jetboating, bungy, rafting, skydiving, parasailing, biking and hiking. Make your bookings at Taupo i-SITE.

An added bonus here is geothermal hot pools, thanks to all the volcanic action nearby. Bring your swimming gear.
