Taupo: Taupo is situated at the outflow of the Waikato River from Lake Taupo. The approach from Wairakei offers spectacular views over the town, lake and distant mountains, and there are pleasant lakeside walks. The lake, the Waikato, Tongariro and Waitahanui Rivers and the many streams that flow into the lake, provide excellent fishing opportunities. The quick-draining volcanic soil means that rain hardly ever spoils play on Taupo's five golf courses. Surrounding the lake's eastern shores are numerous delightful small settlements and scenic locales. Adventure or outdoor enthusiasts will never be bored! Activities include skydiving, jet boating, bungy jumping, a fun theme park, a ropes course, quad biking, to name just a few. For those visitors looking for more relaxing pursuits, there are great shops for retail therapy, museums to visit, and a wide range of dining options.
