Taupo & the Central Plateau
Lake & Rivers
New Zealand's mightiest river is borne from New Zealand's greatest lake: aquatic pursuits
in picturesque settings abound (kayaking, sailing, fishing). The water is famously chilly,
but hot springs bubble up on the lakeside and riverbank.
Epic Landscapes
The three steaming, smoking, occasionally erupting volcanoes at the heart of the North Is-
land are an imposing sight, with the focus on skiing in winter and tramping at other times.
Extreme Taupo
Skydiving, bungy jumping, white-water rafting, jetboating, mountain biking, wakeboard-
ing, parasailing, skiing - you want thrills? You got 'em.
