Lake Taupo Map

An inland sea of tranquillity, Lake Taupo is a recreational paradise where it’s possible to ski in the morning, play golf in the afternoon and catch a trout in the evening. The volcanic landscape is softened by forest, giving the air an energising zing.

Charter a boat and make the most of the fishing and stunning mountain views on Lake Taupo.

Key Features

The Lake
With an area of more than 600 square kilometres, Lake Taupo is immense as well as beautiful. The many beaches are sprinkled with pumice stone, a clue to the lake’s explosive birth - it was created by a gigantic volcanic eruption.

Tongariro National Park
Near the southern edge of Lake Taupo, three huge volcanoes dominate a powerful landscape of forest, rivers and lava rock. The mountains are active, but sedate enough for unforgettable skiing and hiking experiences.

Sporting Life
Whether your people prefer to swing golf clubs or fly fishing rods, Taupo promises that free time will be totally enjoyable. The lake is stocked with rainbow and brown trout, and the golf course at Wairakei is world class.
