You’ll be spoilt for choice in Taupo. This is truly backpacker central and you’ll find every option for accommodation from campgrounds to flashpackers.

Whether you are an adrenaline junkie, fitness enthusiast, sun worshipper, sailor, trout fisherman or keen photographer, the Lake Taupo region has a huge range of activities and natural phenomena to see. You can throw yourself from a platform, jump from the sky, jet boat to the base of the famous Huka Falls, hike over a live volcano, raft the mighty Tongariro River or enjoy a relaxing sail on the lake… to name but a few. 

Celebrate your awesome Taupo adventures with a few beers at Mulligans and a dance at our late night bars. There’s so much to do in Lake Taupo that you’re going to want to stay for a while. Some people stay forever (Immigration is aware of the problem!)
