"Experiencing Lake Taupo On the shores of New Zealand 's largest lake sits the holiday town of Taupo, in the center of the North Island. Popular with vacationers and adventure travelers, there is plenty for everyone. An ancient volcanic crater, nowadays Taupo is a beautiful blue lake with tons of activities to chose from. Whether you want to go skydiving, bungee jumping, white-water rafting or just go out for a swim, Taupo has it all. From the panoramic views over to the Tongariro Crossing to its rich Maori history and culture, Taupo is a must-do for anyone traveling around the North Island of New Zealand."

We engaged a condo on the banks of Lake Taupo for a week Enjoyed this magical area As we planned our New Zealand holiday, it was a no brainer to engage the condo as a base for touring the area Would do again...

This was my second trip around Lake Taupo and without a doubt, both times, one of the prettiest parts of the North Island drive. This community area is stunning with beautiful lakeside hotels and Airbnb's, fantastic restaurants, and tons of available activities. Mostly what I enjoyed was strolling around the lake edge and admiring the view, but there's actually a lot more options if you have time. There's several companies offering water sports and lake activities, great locations for picnics, and several miles of hiking all around the region. The husband and I were here at the end of winter so we settled with admiring the gorgeous sunset while driving into town and stopping by the lake side and a few vista points before leaving. If you have time, definitely stop by and at least enjoy the view, or better yet actually plan to spend a few days here if you can.

This is just another part of New Zealand's picturesque landscape. Lake Taupo and the surrounding area is breathtaking. If you are driving through, take a few minutes at least, pull over and take it all in. You won't regret the pit stop. Sometimes the journey is more rewarding the destination.

Wow! That about sums it up but I need a few more words and letters and spaces and things like that to complete this review. I will write a better review later since I am on vacation at the moment and don't have much time on my phone or computer. But if you're reading this just wow...take in a sunrise or taken at sunset. It's free!
