Lake Taupo is Australasia's largest fresh water lake. To give you an idea, it's the same size as the whole of Singapore. The lake was created many years ago by a massive volcanic eruption and there are many Maori tales and legends told about this region.

Due to its central location, the Great Lake is a perfect base for discovering the wide variety of New Zealand's beautiful and versatile North Island. With the stunning mountain peaks as a backdrop, Lake Taupo and its surrounding area offers visitors one of the North Island's most extraordinary natural attractions.
