Introduction
Mount Tauhara is a dormant volcano beside Lake Taupo, about 1,088 m, east of the town. The summit gives 360° views over the lake, town and plains — the classic high point of the Taupo region; the 3 km trail takes about 1.5 hours through native scrub, with sunrise and sunset lake views at their finest.
