Taupo, set in the heart of New Zealand’s North Island, is known for majestic Lake Taupo, the country’s largest freshwater lake, formed by a colossal volcanic eruption around 26,000 years ago. The region impresses with its geothermal activity, from hot springs and geysers to bubbling mud pools, as well as the mighty Huka Falls, one of New Zealand’s most spectacular waterfalls.
Families can enjoy a wide range of exciting activities in Taupo. Boat trips on Lake Taupo offer breathtaking views and the chance to admire the Māori rock carvings at Mine Bay. For more adventurous travellers, there are thrilling mountain bike trails and walking routes around the lake and the surrounding forests. A visit to the geothermal areas offers the chance to experience these extraordinary natural phenomena up close, while the many hot springs provide perfect places to unwind.
