Taupō - Central North Island of New Zealand


Taupō is located on the shores of Lake Taupō, (the largest lake in New Zealand) and surrounded by mountains, forests & geothermal activity.


Stunning views and plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities like hiking, boating, and hot springs bathing. Taupō is a great holiday destination for those who love nature, adventure, culture, relaxation, and good food and drink.
