Destination Overview

Overview

Situated right in the heart of New Zealand’s North Island, the Great Lake Taupo region is in the centre of it all. The region is truly blessed with world-class natural attractions: Australasia’s largest fresh water lake, volcanic wonderlands, silica terraces, a dual World Heritage national park and the famous Huka Falls. When combined with the region’s exceptional line-up of events, it’s no surprise Great Lake Taupo is a popular holiday destination with Kiwis and international visitors alike.

An impressive lake is the lynchpin of a varied landscape offering all manner of activities and sights that will fix themselves in your memory: 220,000 litres of water per second pouring over the Huka Falls or early morning sunshine sparkling on Lake Taupō against a backdrop of volcanic mountains.

The southern shores of Lake Taupō

The bustling resort town of Taupō is an ideal base for exploring: restaurants and accommodation options abound; there are numerous art and craft galleries and hot thermal pools for relaxing. The small town of Turangi, on the southern shores of Lake Taupō, is the hub of Trout Fishing Turangi and Lake Taupo in the region.  Fishing lodges are plentiful and the local streams are usually dotted with anglers standing thigh-deep in the water!  The drive around the eastern shore of the lake, from Taupō to Turangi, is a great scenic drive offering stunning views.
