TAUPO ATTRACTIONS: HUKA FALLS, CRATERS OF THE MOON & HOT SPRINGS /// THESTYLEJUNGLE VLOG #18
Taupo attractions are probably one of the main reasons for many tourists to come to this region of the North Island of New Zealand. There are a lot of things to do in Taupo. Obviously, the biggest point of interest here is Great Lake Taupo with a huge selection of activities like sailing, swimming, fishing, jet boat riding and many others. We've been trying them out last time, so we decided to explore what else Taupo has to offer.
In this travel video, we started our day at the Craters of the moon park. This is the park featuring amazing geothermal activities and moon-like views. Definitely one of the most awesome places to go in New Zealand.
Huka falls is the most visited and photographed natural attraction in New Zealand. If you're not sure where to go in Taupo - this is the must-visit place. This 11-metres-high waterfall with stunning turquoise water will never leave you disappointed.
Another reason to Travel to Taupo is a selection of natural hot springs. To experience it we decided to go to Otumuheke Stream at Spa Thermal Park. This place is famous for its scenery - it's located literally on the banks of the Waikato River and is a popular place among both locals and tourists.
Hope you liked this small guide to Taupo attractions and now you are inspired to visit this fantastic region of New Zealand.

Are you moving to New Zealand ?
New Zealand is one of the world’s best places to live and retire, best place to raise your family. It has a very pleasant climate, great beaches, a wide variety of outdoor activities, cultural attractions, free health care (for the most part), a good educational system, economic freedom, a lack of corruption and attractive, modern cities.
Known for the stunning landscapes featured in Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings.
New Zealand is comprised of two big islands called North Island and South Island, plus numerous smaller islands.
It is located in the southwestern Pacific Ocean and is very geographically isolated.
Its nearest neighbors are Australia, which is 1242 miles to the northwest, and New Caledonia, Fiji and Tonga to the north.
The population of New Zealand is 4,334,000, the majority of whom are of European descent.
The largest minority are the native Maori. There are also a significant number of non-Maori Polynesians and Asians – especially in urban areas.
If you're thinking of moving to New Zealand, you'll need to decide where you're going to live.
Learn more about best places to live in New Zealand here, and decide where in the country you should settle.
Here're the 10 best places to live in New Zealand for 2018.
1. Wellington, the capital of New Zealand.
2. Taranaki.
3. Dunedin.
4. Auckland.
5. Rotorua.
6. Christchurch.
7. Queenstown Lake District.
8. Selwyn.
9. Nelson.
10. Waikato.
If you are moving to live in New Zealand and you’re really not sure where you want to settle, Auckland can be a great place to begin, you can rent accommodation easily within the city and it has fantastic transport links for the rest of the nation.
But be sure to use these transport links, explore the North and South Islands and find the location that best suits you before you buy a home or even commit to living in New Zealand full time.
Whilst the nation is not vast or overpopulated, it does encompass such an impressive array of geographically different regions that it would be a crime not to explore far more of the country than its leading city before you settle on a place in New Zealand to call home.
Thanks for watching this video. I hope it's useful for you.
