With Lake Taupō — the biggest natural lake in the southern hemisphere — in the middle, there’s lots to love about this stunning region in summer: lovely lakes, mighty rivers, sacred mountains, thundering waterfalls, pristine forests, secluded beaches, active geothermal wonders, welcoming communities — a multitude of things to do on land, water and in town to enjoy these beautiful places.
Let’s start with Taupō welcomes — legendary! And, we’re not just saying that, because it was booking.com customers who voted Taupō as one of Earth’s most welcoming towns. We love having visitors in our special places, so holidays here are extra special.
There are so many ways to slip into a Taupō summer. You can be as active or inactive as you want to be. Walk, hike, bike, ride, fly, skydive, golf, soak, shop till you drop, coffee, dine out, treat yourself, relax in a spa or curl up with a good book ... We’re on a mission to show you how you can have the best-ever summer holiday in Taupō.
