New Zealand travel guide

New Zealand - Taupo & The Central Plateau (Chapter)

This is the Taupo & the Central Plateau chapter from Lonely Planet's New Zealand guidebook.

From river deep to mountain high, New Zealand's geology takes centre stage. Its pizzazz comes from the Taupo Volcanic Zone, and the below-ground commotion has gifted the region with some star attractions, including the country's largest lake and Tongariro National Park.

  • explore fascinating volcanic terrain while tramping the Tongariro Alpine Crossing
  • maps
  • hurtle to earth strapped to a complete stranger in the world's skydiving capital, Taupo
  • transport
  • carve up the fresh powder on Mt Ruapehu
  • restaurants & accommodation

Coverage includes: Lake Taupo region, Taupo & around, Turangi & around, the Central Plateau, Tongariro National Park, National Park Village, Okakune, Waiouru, and Taihape & around.
