Taupo

At the heart of the North Island, Taupō is a playground of natural wonders — home to New Zealand’s largest lake, dramatic waterfalls, and volcanic landscapes. Sail to the Māori rock carvings, feel the power of Huka Falls, or unwind in lakeside hot pools with mountain views. Whether it’s fishing, hiking, or skydiving over crystal-blue waters, Taupō offers adventure and serenity in perfect balance.
