Great LakeTaupo invites you to enjoy the great outdoors this autumn
Autumn is finally here - one of the best times to enjoy the great outdoors in the Great Lake Taupō region. 'You can't put a price on perfection' autumn campaign will highlight just that – the region’s wonderful natural assets.
There will be a special focus on the southern end of the Lake, featuring natural gems like the World Heritage Listed Tongariro National Park, the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, trout fishing and the excellent hiking and mountain biking trails.
Billboards, radio and online advertising will be visible to visitors within a 2 hour radius of the Great Lake Taupo district. The campaign, in partnership with the Department of Conservation, saw TV and radio presenter Marcus Lush completing the Tongariro Alpine Crossing and sharing his message of conservation with his fan base.

Taupo Spotlight
Huka Falls
This thundering waterfall is one of the most visited and photographed attractions in New Zealand. The volume of pure water flowing through the rock face is enough water to fill two Olympic sized swimming pools per second!
From the viewing platforms you can see many angles of the falls and even a jet boat taking tourists within a few metres of the bottom.
