About Tongariro

Tongariro is New Zealand's oldest national park and a dual World Heritage site. The park is centered around three active volcanoes: Tongariro, Ngauruhoe, and Ruapehu. It features the famous Tongariro Alpine Crossing, one of New Zealand's best day hikes, and dramatic volcanic landscapes.
