Taupō is a lakeside town in the centre of North Island, on New Zealand's largest lake, with thundering rapids, geothermal parks and volcanoes beyond.
Taupō stands on the north-eastern shore of Lake Taupō, New Zealand's largest lake, which fills the crater left by huge volcanic eruptions in the distant past. Mount Tauhara rises behind the town, and the volcanoes of Tongariro National Park, Ngāuruhoe, Tongariro and Ruapehu, form the horizon to the south.
