The world-class spas located at luxury lodges or overlooking steaming mineral-rich hot pools and silica terraces, offer modern wellness and traditional Maori massage treatments using local volcanic mud and hot stones.
If you want to reconnect with nature, Lake Taupo, the mountains of the Tongariro National Park, and native forests are full of beautiful scenic walking trails or you could take a scenic boat cruise on Lake Taupo. Some days the lake is mysterious and still, cloaked in steam, and on others, the crystal-clear views across the water to the peaks of Tongariro National Park are breathtaking.
