The most scenic part of the north island in contrast to its beautiful beaches are the mountains located near Lake Taupo. To the south are the dairy farms of this region which go and unlock more of the secrets to New Zealand and its rural life.

Tips
Get away from the main highway and visit the gorges and beaches of this region
Travel down the main highway from Taupo south and you will be on the Desert Rd. So New Zealand even has a desert. Watch out for snow in winter.
