The Best Things to Do in Tongariro National Park

Tongariro National Park has a long history of preserving New Zealand's pristine alpine landscape. The mountainous reserve in the center of the North Island houses three active volcanoes--the aquamarine crater lakes that adorn these volcanic hotspots are widely considered to be among the best attractions in the country. During a trip to Tongariro National Park, many visitors choose to hike and climb to admire the lakes on challenging day excursions. Plan your holiday in Tongariro National Park and other destinations, from the rural, to the urban, and everything in between, using our New Zealand trip planner.
