Of all the amazing things to do in Taupō-and there are a bucketload of them-you'll often find that water plays a key role. Swimming and watersports are the obvious water activities; even these take on a new dimension when you do them in crystal clear lakes. There are some other surprising activities too.
From world-class trout fishing in rivers, lakes and sea to harnessing your inner goddess in natural thermal pools, Taupō has some pretty cool stuff up its sleeve. Cling to jet boats, relax on sailing boats and don't forget the plethora of windsurfers, kayaks, paddleboards and waterskis to try. All of this happens in the midst of some of the most astounding natural scenery on the planet.
