🇳🇿 How to Have Fun in Taupo, New Zealand

Taupo is a town in the heart of the active geothermal area on the North Island of New Zealand. It's known for its beautiful lake, the Waikato River, many different hot springs, the impressive Huka Falls and plenty of fun things to do. We decided to embrace the rainy weather and dive in to a nice wet adventure.

You definitely need to check out the Tongariro Northern Circuit- kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHvZkpaah9iLg7M

How relaxing! It doesn't matter if it's sunny or cloudy, Sam & you always have a lot of fun. That's great!

[@zahidainlondonvlogs]

Hi Jess that's so much fun. I like your adventures. Love from UK London 🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️

[@JesseStLouis]

Welcome to the party

[@Frank-rx8ch]

All is forgiven brother. Your pronunciation of Maori place names, great. Do enjoy your adventure in Taupo region where the Waikato river begins

[@JesseStLouis]

thanks Frank!

[@Bornin-ev7yl]

I'm waiting, for your lake Pukaki vlog, in southern island🤙🏻✌🏻

Taupo and the o is like the o in orange Orange, TaupO

[@rollyrolly7729]

I've heard if you go up the stream a bit there's a better spot. Haven't checked it out myself yet but will do one day

[@JesseStLouis]

Interesting

[@yffips]

In that area I think you would enjoy “the squeeze” near Orakei Korako. Narrow thermal canyon and waterfall. Info at NZ riverjet.

[@JesseStLouis]

Yes, I've heard of it, but unfortunately it's almost $200 per person

[@yffips]

@@JesseStLouis You could pretty well canoe to it from Orakei Korako or Lake Ohakuri if you just know where to go. Not sure if Riverjet has exclusive rights to it.

[@JesseStLouis]

@@yffips 🤔

[@yffips]

@@JesseStLouis 1.25km north of Orakei Korako on the east bank. But maybe someone will ask "where the hell do you think you are going?" Could be quite discrete if on that inflatable tube and outside of business hours?? Not sure if I recommend it or not.

[@snoogans349]

Awesome vid!

[@JesseStLouis]

🙌🤙

[@calebgriffin3985]

just a tip on how you say taupo is think of it as toe-poor

[@AliasJimWirth]

Hey guys, good to see you and catch up a bit. I enjoyed the float along. You two are a great couple; love you both. Was going to start out calling you "fatso" Jesse, but thought better of it. I love good food. And we can't always be as active as we'd like to be. Nice scenery. Thanks.

[@JesseStLouis]

thanks Jim! glad to hear from you!

[@DPPaul]

👍👍

[@DiscoverLifeJourney]

Nice place ~ stay safe 🙏

Pronounced ‘toe-paw’, I was told on my 2019 taster 3 week trip....

[@makaylasmanifestations]

curious how warm the springs were?

[@JesseStLouis]

Probably not warmer than 90F

[@robhellner7822]

Starting to be a far boy like mr rupp ehu lmao

[@jennabbbb]

Toe-Paw = Taupo

[@robhellner7822]

Is it summer there now Jesse

[@JesseStLouis]

Late spring

[@robhellner7822]

That's cool, Michigan is in the fall now heading for winter

[@johnhenry4389]

Interestingly, your pronunciation of "Huka Falls" sounds odd. Yet, it must be correct so illustrates how badly most kiwis mangle it.

[@JesseStLouis]

🤔that is interesting. I'm not even sure how a kiwi would say it.

[@johnhenry4389]

@@JesseStLouis generally it's more like "Hooka", which completely ignores how the "u" is pronounced in Maori
