5 Sights & Landmarks in Turangi That You Shouldn't Miss

February 25, 2022 Kaleigh Reichenbach

Turangi is a small town on the west bank of the Tongariro River, 50 kilometres south-west of Taupo on the North Island Volcanic Plateau of New Zealand. It was built to accommodate the workers associated with the Tongariro hydro-electric power development project and their families. The town was designed to remain as a small servicing centre for the exotic forest plantations south of Lake Taupo and for tourists. It is well known for its trout fishing and calls itself "The trout fishing capital of the world". The major Māori hapu (tribe) of the Turangi area is Ngati Turangitukua.

Lake Rotopounamu

Reviewed By missktuck - Rotorua, New Zealand

The second time I've visited and just as magical as the first. So much bird life and a spectacular lake with gorgeous beaches. Apart from the uphill it the start it's a nice easy walk for most abilities. At the top of the hill at the start I recommend going right!
