From relaxing and romance to hiking, bike trails, high adrenalin adventures, snow skiing and fishing, we offer it all!
If you’re in the mood for other Mt Ruapehu activities like a volcanic walk, we can help you organise a hiking trip. Several scenic chairlift/gondola rides are available for those who just want to enjoy the view without the hike. Also on offer are: Tongariro Crossing excursions, fishing trips and bike trail adventures.
During the winter season you can enjoy skiing at Turoa, Whakapapa or Tukino. These ski fields cater for beginners through to the more advanced skier. At Turoa and Whakapapa, there are on-mountain rental outlets that rent out ski gear, or you can hire gear at the Junction on your way up the mountain. You can make the decision on the spur of the moment if you wish.
