What's a weekend break all about?
FROM CITY TO MOUNTAINS

Having some time out, relaxing with friends and family, re-energising, and refreshing the soul. Has it been a while?

Tongariro National Park is a popular destination in the summer months for the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, but did you know the earthy, volcanic landscapes of this Dual World Heritage Area have plenty of other outdoor pursuits for nature lovers? Slap on the sunblock and explore unknown tracks and hidden gems - there is an experience on offer for everyone.

Make your first stop at the Tongariro National Park Visitor Centre at Whakapapa Village, where the Department of Conservation works alongside our local i-Site to share extensive knowledge on trails and have 3D models showcasing where you are and how to get around.

Whether you’re familiar with Tongariro National Park or not, wander into the Visitor Centre for all the information you need to make the most of your visit, including maps and information on local activities, short walks, viewpoints and great photography spots. The Visitor Centre and i-Site is open every day except Christmas Day.
