Taupo, its lake, and the surrounding area is prized in New Zealand and attracts locals, as well as tourists, to its diverse and unique location. Situated in the middle of the North Island of New Zealand, the Taupo district is home to approximately 32,500 residents. Its temperate weather, central location and wide variety of attractions make it a great place to visit in both summer and winter. Accommodation in Lake Taupo is plentiful and varied and most of it is within view of the lake, a great way to start your day.
Here are some of the great tourist attractions you can visit from your accommodation in Lake Taupo.
First and foremost is, of course, Lake Taupo. The lake is the second largest fresh water lake in Oceania and is used for many activities, not the least of which is fishing. You can catch both Brown and Rainbow Trout or try your hand at fly fishing; set up next to the lake or take a charter boat out and spend a day on the water.
Huka Falls would probably be the second most famous attraction in Taupo. Dramatic waterfalls are created by the drain off from the lake, with some drops as big as 11 metres causing an incredible and mesmerising flow of water. It's rather breathtaking and should definitely be on your list of places to visit. If you are feeling adventurous you can also take a jet boat ride and get up close and personal with the falls.
After all that adventure you might want to warm up and what better way than to soak in natural hot water springs. The AC Baths offer something for the whole family. There are swimming pools and fun for the children or private baths if you need some time just for you!
If you want a closer look at the wonder of the geothermal activity in the area then Orakei Korako offers you the chance to do so. There are 23 natural geysers on display and you can take a walk through the hidden valley and discover the Ruatapu Cave (sacred hole). Only accessible by boat, visitors simply jump aboard the on-duty vessel to get a close up view of the incredible Orakei Korako Geyser.
Huka Honey Hive offers visitors to Taupo a unique honey tasting experience. You can try honey, mead, liqueurs and fruit wines at your leisure, and at no cost, whilst learning all about the wonder of bees. Once you discover the incredible power of honey you'll want to take home a pot or two of this magical product.
