Tongariro Alpine Crossing
The Tongariro Alpine Crossing is one of New Zealand's most popular walks and is within the Tongariro National Park. Tongariro is New Zealand's oldest national park and a dual World Heritage area.
The walk is designated one of the "great walks" by the Department of Conservation
The trek starts at Mangatepopo and finishes at Ketetahi. A full day is required (7-8 hours including rest stops). The track can be walked in the reverse direction but this requires more climbing so allow an extra hour. As this is not a round trip visitors will have to arrange transport to Mangatepopo roadend and back from Ketetahi roadend. Several local operators provide this service and we can arrange tickets.
Should you wish to do the northern circuit, we have Department of Conservation Hut tickets available.
Storage available for vehicles and your luggage while you are away.
