Question: This is my first visit to New Zealand. I have planned to spend two days in the Lake Taupo region. What sightseeing and activities should I see and do?

Answer:

Our team will be happy to help you plan a wonderful visit to the Lake Taupo Volcanic Zone. Lake Taupo is renowned for trout fishing, nature hiking, geothermal parks, hot pool mineral bathing, vibrant cafes, fine dining, water sports and every adventure activity under the sun, such as jet-boating, skydiving, bungy jumping, white water rafting and more. The area’s volcanic beauty is best seen from a aeroplane adventures volcanic scenic flight, and the surrounding forests can be explored on foot, horseback, quad or mountain bikes.


For a two-day stay, I would recommend

  • nature walks on Craters of the Moon, from Spa Park to Huka Falls along the Waikato River or along the Lions Walk on the lakefront
  • mineral thermal bathing or a natural spa therapy at Taupo Hot Springs Spa (on-site at Taupo Thermal DeBretts Resort)
  • volcanic scenic flight with Volcanic Aeroplane Adventures, why not a flight to White Island an active volcano
  • having brunch at L’arte, savouring yummy treats in a mosaic and sculpture garden in beautiful Acacia Bay
  • visiting the hidden Valley at the thermal wonderland of Orakei Korako
  • having a scenic cruise on Lake Taupo, catch a trout, and viewing the breathtaking Maori Carvings (only accessible by boat or kayak) We recomend the Sailing Yacht Barbary, they conduct daily scenic boat cruises and is available for private yacht charter sailing on Lake Taupo, in the Central Plateau and volcanic Zone of New Zealand. Where else can you sail in a volcanic crater lake?
  • enjoying a nightcap by the log fire at the Terraces Cellar Bar (on-site at Taupo DeBretts Thermal Resort)

If you had more time an unforgettable day walk in the Whirinaki Rainforest, complete with stories of Maori myths and legends would be a must; a cultural evening with Maori hangi at the Wairakei Terraces; cocktail hour with a glass of wine and fresh prawn cocktail at the Huka Prawn Park; experiencing a thrilling jet boat ride; a round of golf at Wairakei, NZ’s premier golf course and one of the best in the world; and much, much more!
