Lake Taupo Travel Guide

Lake Taupo accommodation, Lake Taupo activities and attractions, Lake Taupo maps, transportation to and around Lake Taupo - the Jasons Lake Taupo Destination Travel Guide is your complete visitor guide for Lake Taupo.

Taupo is the ideal base to explore the wonderful natural attractions of the Lake Taupo region. In an area stretching from Orakei Korako in the north to Tongariro National Park in the south, you'll find snow-capped mountains, a freshwater lake the size of Singapore, pristine native bush, steaming thermal areas, and of the world's few Dual World Heritage Areas. Take a scenic cruise on New Zealand’s largest lake, catch a trout and have it cooked at a local restaurant, enjoy a round of golf or join a local Maori guide and explore Lake Taupo on foot.

If you want a spot of action, try the thrill of a bungy jump, tandem skydive or high-speed jetboat ride, head into the hills on a quad bike adventure, or cast your line for a plump rainbow trout at Turangi, on the edge of the mighty Tongariro River. At the end of the day, nothing beats a relaxing soak in the thermal hot pools at Tokaanu before dining out at one of Lake Taupo’s fine restaurants.
