About Lake Taupo

The magnificent Lake Taupo is situated in the centre of New Zealand's North Island and is home to spectacular mountain scenery, beautiful native bush and some of the best trout fishing in the world.

Lake Taupo is also fast becoming known as the adventure capital of the North Island. Here you can discover the thrill of adrenaline-pumping activities, like bungy jumping, skydiving, white-water rafting, wake-boarding, water skiing or jet boating.

In winter, the region is popular as a ski destination, being a short drive from the largest ski field in New Zealand—the Whakapapa Ski Field. This also gives the visitor an opportunity to see a live volcano —Mt Ruapehu. Guided walks are offered in the summer months, or fly over the crater with one of four scenic flight operators available.

The Taupo Region

The region of Taupo incorporates the southern part of the thermal belt that extends from White Island in the Bay of Plenty through Rotorua to Tongariro National Park. Hot springs appear in several places around the lake, which is actually a volcanic crater. Just north of Taupo, near the Wairakei International Golf Course, underground steam has been harnessed for electricity generation. One of the few outlets from Lake Taupo is the mighty Waikato River, New Zealand's longest river, which gushes through a narrow chasm at the Huka Falls.

Lake Taupo, the Tongariro River and other inflowing streams have for a long-time had an international reputation for their rainbow trout fishery. Many people, however, just enjoy cruising, participating in the many water activities, or simply relaxing in one of the North Island's beauty spots. For the more energetic there are horse treks, bungy jumping, rafting, golfing and walking.

The Wairakei International Golf Course is one of the country's premier courses and one of seven in the area. Turangi at the southern end of the lake is also another renowned trout fishing spot, and the base for whitewater rafting on the Tongariro River which flows into the lake.
