The Central North Island of New Zealand has some of the world's most unique scenery. Glen Tui is the ideal home base to experience it all.
Two hours northwest of Taupo are the famous Waitomo Caves. Here you can safely explore large caves and see magical glowworms. To see Kiwis and other native birds up close visit the Kiwi House in Otorohanga.
South of Taupo, explore the Central Plateau and the Desert Road with its high tundra desert landscape and impressive mountains including Mount Ruapehu. Great for skiing in the winter months. The Tongariro National Park is a UNESCO world heritage area with untouched landscapes and hundreds of walking tracks and trails.
If you love flyfishing, visit Turangi and fish the pristine Tongariro River for brown and rainbow trout. Just 40 minutes away from Taupo.
