Taupo is home to New Zealand’s largest lake, more trout than you can shake a stick at and some of the country’s most stunning scenery. Lake Taupo was created by a volcanic eruption so big the sun went hazy in China. Almost everywhere you look there's a volcano. Just a few minutes north of the Lake at Wairakei you'll find geothermal fields, boiling mud pools and steaming geysers. It boasts Tongariro World Heritage National Park’s fantastic ski areas, majestic Mount Ruapehu, beautiful countryside and a great range of action activities.
Not far from the city centre, you’ll find the thundering Huka Falls, New Zealand’s most visited natural attraction. There is so much to see and do in the Taupo area or travel further a field towards Tongariro World Heritage National Park and enjoy the famous Tongariro Crossing Walk – the best one day hike in New Zealand Take a scenic drive on the Volcanic Loop Highway, or ski Whakapapa or Turoa Ski fields – or see it all from one of Taupo’s Floatplane’s scenic flights.
Lake Taupo is a great vacation destination in both summer and winter. Trout fishing is a major attraction - it's now over 100 years since the first trout fry were released into the lake and today it is one of the last true wild trout fisheries in the world.
Be sure not to miss an opportunity to enjoy all that Taupo has to offer with one of Taupo Floatplane’s unique flying experiences.
