Discover hotels and villas for adventure holidays in Lake Taupo, New Zealand

Like nearby Rotorua to the north, the land surrounding Lake Taupo is still volcanically active, with steaming thermal hot-spots another big attraction. If you’re looking for outdoor pursuits against a ravishing backdrop, this is the place to come, with legendary trout-fishing, adrenalin-rush rafting and all manner of scenic watersports up for grabs. In winter, you’ll be tempted by the ski fields, but come summer the surrounding national park becomes a haven for trekking. Or, for a real high, get airborne – Taupo is also the world’s skydiving capital.
