The focus of this region is Lake Taupo—New Zealand's largest lake (619 square kilometres) and the heart of the North Island. Lake Taupo was created by a volcanic eruption so big the sun went hazy in China (relax, that was a few thousand years ago). Almost everywhere you look there's a volcano. Just a few minutes north of the Lake at Wairakei you'll find geothermal fields, boiling mud pools and steaming geysers.
Taupo has plenty of accommodation including luxury lodges, hotels, motels and camping grounds.
The clean breathtaking environment that sets Taupo apart has also created a phenomenal surge in development as more and more people want to enjoy the relaxed sophisticated lifestyle of Taupo.
Skiing and adventure activities are other reasons to visit. And when you're not on the lake or up a mountain, you'll find the Taupo town centre crammed with cafes and interesting shops. The nearby Huka Falls area is great for picnics and nature walks—or you could take a thrilling jet boat ride right to the foot of the thundering water.
