Largest Lake Biggest Bang
Taupo is located on the shore of the largest lake in New Zealand on the North Island. Lake Taupo sits in the crater of a dormant volcano which saw the most violent eruption in the last 5,000 years. This volcano had such an effect on the world that the Romans & Chinese wrote about the darkening ash and smoke that enveloped the sky.
Taupo has a large tourism culture that has been driven by the lake and water activities. Just outside Taupo on the Waikato River are the Huka Falls This spectacular display of natures power is one of the most visited natural wonders in the country. On the lake you can fish for trout, kayak or take in the elegance of a 1920’s yacht once owned by Errol Flynn.
After driving all over the North Island stop into the thermal mineral pools in Taupo to relax and refresh tired muscles and mind. These thermal pools are still feed of the volcanic activity that bubbles underneath the still lake. Options for taking advantage of therapeutic effects of this water range from Spa treatments to public baths. The effects will be long lasting and are a great way of ending or beginning a holiday.
