Taupo holidays

Beautiful Lake Taupo beside the town of Taupo is actually a huge volcano with a fiery history. Its most recent eruption, in 181 AD, was large enough to change the sky as far away as Europe and China. According to Maori legend, the lake is the pulsating heart of Maui's fish (New Zealand's North Island). Popular Taupo experiences include geothermal walks and lake cruises to see the rock carvings at Mine Bay.
