Whether it’s action and adventure or relaxation and pampering, the central plateau region of Great Lake Taupō has it all, and more.
Fly over the mountains, volcanoes and vibrantly-coloured crater lakes of the World Heritage-listed Tongariro National Park. Land amongst the majestic Kaimanawa Ranges and partake in a beautiful lunch on the bank of a secluded backcountry river beside gin-clear waters.
Go fly fishing for the region's famous trout with a local expert or ride some of the country's most scenic bike tracks on the Great Lake Trail with a biking guide. For more blood-pumping thrills, jump or swing over a cliff face of the mighty Waikato River.
Take to the water on a luxury private launch. Lure in some trout then enjoy the catch, deliciously smoked and paired with a glass of champagne on the deck at sunset. For something even more relaxed, unwind in the therapeutic mineral pools or enjoy a luxurious spa treatment.
