Five great days out with kids in Taupō
29 November 2024
With so much on offer in the wider Taupō region, you won't have any trouble keeping the kids occupied. We've rounded up five full days of fun to get you started.
Ride around New Zealand’s largest lake in Taupō
Ride around the north-western shores of Lake Taupō on the Great Lake Trail.
An 83km, one- to three-day grade three ride, the Great Lake Trail forms part of the Ngā Haerenga New Zealand Cycle Trail.
Taking in a range of diverse landscapes, the Great Lake Trail includes wetlands and waterfalls, beaches, gorges, headlands, bridges, and of course, vistas of New Zealand’s largest lake.
Tackle the trail one multi-day trip, or it can be split into shorter sections to suit your cycling skills.
Experienced riders will enjoy the exhilarating downhills, switchbacks and cambered berms, while the easier sections allow you to soak up the unusual rock formations and unique volcanic scenery.
