The reason why most visitors travel to this region is to experience the majestic Tongariro Alpine Crossing, described as one of the best one-day hikes in New Zealand. The Tongariro Alpine Crossing trek takes you from alpine meadows to mountain summit with stunning volcanic features along the way. On the Tongariro Alpine Crossing you will walk across a lunar landscape of craters, scattered pumice, active volcanoes, mountain springs, lava flows, emerald lakes, piles of scoria and statue-like mounds of volcanic desert. Simply a must do if visiting the Tongariro National Park.
If you don't fancy an all day hike then the best way to take in the sights is from the air on board a scenic helicopter flight with Heli Adventure Flights.
