We know you’re eager to test out your new wheels. How about a day trip out to Taupo? Just 30 miles away, roll down those windows and feel the breeze in your hair on the drive there. Taupo Hot Springs, Huka Falls and Craters of the Moon alone justify the drive out here. Locals will also likely point you in the direction of Wairakei, 30 miles away. If you can only find time for one thing here, make sure it’s Taupo Hot Springs. (But we’re also big fans of Huka Falls and Craters of the Moon.)
