Pukawa Bay

Pukawa Bay lies along the southern shore of Lake Taupō, where the water meets the volcanic plateau of New Zealand’s central North Island. This small lakeside settlement forms part of the wider Taupō district, with the terrain rising southward towards Tongariro National Park and its volcanic mountains. Lake Taupō fills a vast caldera associated with the Oruanui eruption of about 25,500 years ago. The lake also holds deep cultural significance for Ngāti Tūwharetoa, the iwi whose ancestral lands surround it.
