Lake Taupo When you think of the Lake Taupo region, think tourist activities, fresh air, snow, trout, rivers and lakes.
Just about everywhere you look you'll see a volcano. The most serene is Lake Taupo itself, created by an eruption so big the sun went hazy in China. Just south of Turangi in Tongariro National Park are three magnificent snow capped volcanoes - Ruapehu, Tongariro and Ngauruhoe. For a spectacular view of these, take a scenic flight or walk the Tongariro Crossing, the best one day hike in New Zealand. Just a few minutes north of the Lake at Wairakei you'll find geothermal fields, boiling mud pools and steaming geysers. In Taupo itself and at the little village of Tokaanu near Turangi there are magical, hot mineral springs that have been soothing weary souls for centuries.
