Lake Taupo is…

World famous trout fishing in New Zealand’s biggest lake. Swimming in pristine waters. Relaxing in hot pools. It is snow skiing on a volcano or walking in native bush. It is visiting the mighty Huka falls or jet boating on a raging river. It is spending time with family or making friends with locals. Come and experience our landscape. Enjoy the nightlife and funky cafes. It is a rugged and rich in history, beautiful and accessible, it is the real New Zealand.
