Tongariro Alpine Crossing

Widely considered New Zealand’s greatest one-day walk, the Tongariro Alpine Crossing is 6-8 hours of breathtaking alpine scenery. Starting at Mangatepopo and traversing between Mounts Tongariro and Ngauruahoe, you’ll experience active volcanoes, craters, mountain springs, lava flows and glistening lakes surrounded by scattered pumice and volcanic rock. A prominent filming location in Lord of the Rings, this enchanting adventure is a must-do.
