Lake Taupo was formed by enormous volcanic explosions, the biggest being in 186AD. It is New Zealand`s largest lake, is 42 by 25 kilometres and 570 metres deep. If this Lake where emptied it would be the `Second Largest Crater on Earth`. Lake Taupo is internationally acclaimed for its year-round trout fishing. There are many water activities or simply take a cruise on the lake, or relax on the shore. To the south of Lake Taupo, three massive volcanoes cluster together to form Tongariro National Park. In winter, these magnificent mountains lure thousands of skiers.
Taupo is an abbreviation of Taupo-nui-a-Tia, 'the great shoulder mat of Tia'. |

Wonderful tips (we don't expect anything less). By the way, where are you living these days? | tauhara Thu Sep 14, 2006 07:31 UTC
Cherry Island has been closed for over a year. The animals have been given away. However the valley that it is in is a beautiful picnic and swimming location | frankcanfly Tue Oct 18, 2005 11:08 UTC
I made the jump! Loved it! But I missed the cliff carvings.... I really enjoyed my stop here... | DaDrifter Sat Jul 9, 2005 11:36 UTC
Thanks ... I finally found the ultimate place for Bungy jumping :) That platform over Waikato sounds so tempting ... amazing views. |
