Tongariro National Park Holidays

It's the oldest park in New Zealand and is home to several volcanoes. The Tongarino Alpine Crossing is probably the best known hike. One day and 20km of volcanic terrain to cover - a must for any nature lover.

What our travellers think of their stay

With three active volcanoes, the Tongariro, Ngauruhoe and Ruapehu, Tongariro National Park is a must for any hiking fan or visitors interested in exploring a volcanic landscape.

My suggestion

Even if the weather's good, take along some warm clothes, as the wind bites the higher you go! If you're planning to trek the Tongariro Alpine Crossing during Fall or winter months, it would be wise to ask the DOC for advice on equipment that you may need.

My suggestion

Check out the weather forecast before you start, as it can be unpredictable, particularly at the summit. Snow is abundant in winter and this hike is led by a guide.
