About Taupo

The lakeside town of Taupo is a mecca for tourist and holiday makers. Popular Taupo experiences include Huka Falls, geothermal walks, lake cruises, New Zealand’s first public cable wakeboarding park and guided kayak expeditions to see the rock carvings at Mine Bay.

Taupo provides a base for visitors who love to fish for trout, ski Mount Ruapehu and explore the local geothermal phenomena.

Lake Taupo is a fantastic region for year-round mountain bikings, with the recent completion of the Great Lake Trail. Along with cycling, there’s excellent hiking and golf opportunities.
