Area Activities

Lake Taupo in the Central Plateau, is unique, spectacular and renowned for the amazing water activities, sporting events and natural unspoilt beauty – there is plenty here to entertainment everyone. From relaxing on the lake in pursuit of a trophy trout to skydiving from 15,000 feet, this picture perfect part of New Zealand has something for everyone.

Shopping and Cafes 

The town of Taupo is relaxed and friendly. It offers boutique specialty shops, art galleries, and a wide range of restaurants and cafes, both indoor and outdoor.


Fishing

The first brown trout were liberated into the tributaries of Lake Taupo, New Zealand's largest lake, in 1887 originally coming from Europe and the rainbows released in 1898 are Californian Steelheads.

With few natural predators, an enormous food supply and hundreds of kilometres of prime spawning streams and rivers flowing into the lake, they thrive. Today, with a self-sustaining population of Rainbow and Brown Trout, the Taupo region has cemented its name as one of the world's premier fisheries.

Within the Taupo fishery there are 5 lakes, 13 streams and rivers, four canals and more than 32 river mouths open to angling. A 12 month season applies not only to Lake Taupo itself, but also to the river mouths and large sections of eight rivers and streams, as well as one of the canals. While the fishable western tributaries and the eastern headwaters close for the winter, they are open from the beginning of December until the end of May and offer some of the best wilderness sight fishing in the world.

Some of these tributaries have difficult access, but don't let that put you off. If you make the effort there is an excellent chance of catching late and early run rainbows and large browns, and it's quite likely you could have a whole day of fishing without seeing another angler. A heli-fishing day with one of our experienced guides in to the backcountry is a fly fishing experience you will never forget.
