Nestled on the plains below the forest-clad Kaimanawa Ranges, Turangi is a basecamp for world-class fly fishing for trout on the pristine Tongariro River, and the gateway to the awe-inspiring beauty and adventure of the Tongariro National Park.
Tūrangi, Lake Taupō has been known as a fishing paradise for decades; in the 1920s American adventure author Zane Grey fished here and wrote Tales of An Angler’s Eldorado about chasing trout of mythic size. The first trout caught in Taupo was landed in April 1904, weighing 1.36kg. Hiring a fishing guide who can show you their favourite fishing pools and organise your licence is the best way to get your feet wet.
On days when the fish aren’t biting, there are excellent grade two to four white water rapids for rafting, the scenic 15km Tongariro River Trail for biking and walking, the Tokaanu Thermal Pools for a relaxing soak, and charming cafés, with great coffee and freshly stocked cabinets.
Ten minutes from Tūrangi town centre, the two-hour loop walk to Lake Rotopounamu takes you through a cool beech forest populated by native birds, to the hidden gem of a white sand beach perfect for picnics.
Tūrangi is an easy 40-minute drive by car or bus from Taupō town. In the other direction, it’s also 40 minutes to Whakapapa Ski Area, and 20 minutes to the start point for the Tongariro Alpine Crossing.
