All in a morning at Taupo…

From experiencing a simulation of the Edgecumbe Earthquake at the Volcanic Activity Centre

and watching the awesome power of water flooding through the Aratiatia Rapids


to learning how honey is made at ‘The Honey Hive’ and sampling locally farmed prawns at the Huka Prawn Park for lunch.

Our holiday in Taupo was over a week ago now and remembering when we did what is a total blur! We did so much… as you’ll read in the following posts. Taupo is full of amazing sights and activites; but also full of relaxing places to unwind. We spent countless hours in the pool; either at our accommodation or in the geothermally heated Taupo DeBretts Spa or enjoying the incredible facilities of the A.C. Baths. And of course, there was always the lake – and countless water fowl to feed!
