Taupo is a must-visit destination in New Zealand, where you can experience the country's great outdoors. The town's vibrant lakefront is centred around Lake Taupo, the largest freshwater lake in the country, offering a range of activities including sailing, kayaking and fishing. Visitors are drawn to the stunning Huka Falls, a breathtaking spectacle where the Waikato River thunders over a 20-metre drop, creating a misty veil that surrounds the surrounding landscape. The best time to visit Taupo is during the summer months (December to February) when the weather is warm and sunny. For first-timers, consider booking a guided boat tour to Huka Falls, which provides a unique perspective on the area's natural beauty and offers a chance to spot local wildlife such as trout and eels.
Budget travellers can explore Taupo for around $108/day, covering basic accommodation (from $70/night) and street meals (from $11 each).
