Finlay Jack's Backpackers offers an ideal location in Taupo. The hostel offers single bed dormitory's.
Taupo is an absolute mecca for all things outdoors – including hiking the famous Tongariro crossing, trout fishing, skydiving, jet boating, white water rafting, mountain biking and sailing on the Great Lake with the hostel's yacht 'Fearless'.
If relaxing is more your style, you can treat yourself to a thermal hot water spa or experience a taste of Maori culture. Taupo is bustling with tourists and locals alike, allowing you to discover a real sense of New Zealand.
Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.2 for a two-person trip.
