Created almost 2,000 years ago by a volcanic eruption, Taupō is home to some exceptionally impressive, don’t-miss natural scenes. Like its namesake Lake Taupō, which is the size of Singapore. And thundering Huka Falls which spill 220,000 liters of water every second. If you’re into water skiing, sailing or kayaking – this is your region. Check out the Craters of the Moon for boiling mud pools or try some therapeutic fly fishing under the snow-capped peaks of Tongariro National Park. End the day at your cosy Riparide cabin or lakeside hut where you can rest and refuel for the next adventure.
