Taupo is the ideal location in New Zealand for beginners to enjoy bungee jumping since it has the nation's highest water-contact bungee (47 metres above the Waikato River). Another choice is the Cliffhanger Swing, where users may reach speeds of up to 57 mph and twist their bodies in an arc of up to 180 degrees. One of the more reasonably priced alternatives in New Zealand, prices for this bungee jump start at around 185 New Zealand dollars.
Spend some time in a Turangi hot spring to relax your body and mind.
Traveling southwest from Taupo will bring you to the charming town of Turangi. There might possibly be many geothermal hot springs in this region. You may get to the pools by following a path that winds through the geothermal features; there, you can take a dip to cool down. If you're looking for a cheap way to pass a wet day, a trip to the hot springs could be just what the doctor ordered, with entrance just costing $10 NZD. Choosing the hotel with Superior one bedroom near Taupo is important here.
When you have some spare time, visit the Lake Taupo Museum and Art Gallery to see what is on show.
This little museum offers exhibits on Taupo's Maori, volcanic, and early European history and is conveniently placed in the city centre. Local artists' creations are always on display, and the building itself is an exact recreation of a traditional Maori meeting house. Ora, a public garden, won the 2004 Chelsea Flower Show. It costs five New Zealand Dollars (NZ$) to enter.
Mount Tauhara ascent Due to its proximity to the city and its attractive summit, this dormant volcano attracts many climbers. For the best possible start to your ascent, park at the very end of Mountain Road. (Before you start, be mindful of the steep hill.) It takes roughly 1.5 hours to ascend to the summit. At a height of 1,008 metres above sea level, views of the lake below are especially breathtaking. Birds may come in a wide variety of sizes and forms. This increase comes at a low price.
The best spot to unwind and relax is at Butcher's Pool.
Given its distant location, it is not surprising that this thermal spring is only sometimes used by a limited number of persons. You'll need to travel around 40 kilometres outside of town to get there. The early settler who worked in the neighborhood's butcher shop gave Butcher's Pool its name, and it is linked to both hot and cold natural springs.
