A lake filling a volcanic crater big enough to have its own weather, trout fishing rated among the best freshwater angling on Earth, and geothermal parks nearby where the ground itself steams and bubbles.
The best time to visit Lake Taupo is Dec–Feb, when typical daytime highs reach about 11°C (52°F).
