Activities in the Tongariro National Park 
 
Established in 1887, Tongariro was the first national park in New Zealand and the fourth in the world. It is also a dual World Heritage area, a status which recognises the park's important Maori cultural and spiritual associations as well as its outstanding volcanic features. 
 
Tongariro National Park is located in the central North Island of New Zealand and is the closest national park to Auckland, New Zealands largest city. On the park borders are the towns of Turangi, National Park Village and Ohakune. 
 
Mt Ruapehu is the largest of three magnificent volcanoes that make up the Tongariro National Park, a dual World Heritage Park. These majestic slopes accommodate New Zealand’s largest and most developed ski areas, Whakapapa and Turoa ski fields with weekend organised ski trips available from Auckland. 
 
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 <a href="/en/taupo/heli-adventure-flights-tongariro-crossing">scenic helicopter flight</a> with Heli Adventure Flights.
