The Location

Volcanoes in the Taupo Volcanic Zone created our environment, making Taupo very unique.  The vast lake, which is larger than Singapore, was the result of the most violent eruption the world has seen in the past 5000 years. Ash from the explosion transformed sunsets in Europe and China.

European and Maori settlement in the area has had an environmental impact, so read our History section which will provide you with an insight into the Lake Taupo area.
