Taupo

A few thousand years ago Lake Taupo was created by the largest volcanic eruption of the past 5,000 years, it was so big records say the sun went hazy in China.
 
Today, there is a lake the size of Singapore and the largest fresh water lake in the Southern hemisphere.

Visitors can sky dive over the lake, enjoy amazing fishin on the lake, four wheel drive on volcanic farm land, , learn about local authentic Maori culture, play golf on internationally acclaimed golf courses, enjoy a scenic flight over the lake, ski on an active volcano or even bungy jump over New Zealand’s largest River – the Waikato.
 
Or if it’s relaxation and you require, why not soak in a thermal hot spring, try some of the best trout fishing on the globe, take a cruise to the famous Maori Rock carvings at Mine Bay, find a secluded beach, indulge in boutique shopping, enjoy delectable cuisine at one of the many restaurants, cafes or indulge in a cocktail at one of the groovy lounge bars.

Taupo is located within the central north Island and is a place of culture fun and adventure, a must see on anyone’s list
