Lake Taupo covers 616sqkms and is widely considered the trout fishing capital of the world. The surrounding forests are ideal for hunting, mountain biking, horse trekking and bushwalking and its rivers are not only ideal for fishing but for white water rafting as well. Because the whole area is volcanic, there are stunning examples of geothermal activity including mud pools and geysers, not to mention the natural hot pools for you to sit, relax and soak in. Close by there are several golf courses including the International Wairaki Golf Course. In winter Mount Ruapehu offers two world class ski fields only 55 mins away. If that's not enough adventure for you there is sky diving and of course New Zealand famous bungy jumping right on the doorstep. There is just so much to see and do in Taupo and we'll be happy to assist you in booking and organising your activities in any way we can.
