Soak in the panorama of the snowy white expanse in the winter or the lush, blooming beauty during summer on your 11-mile (19 km) trek. Break for lunch and enjoy a rest while learning about the secrets and history of the scenic landscape around you. In winter, a nourishing lunch is provided to keep your body warm.
Follow your experienced guide through the numerous volcanic craters, mountain springs, and vivid emerald lakes—natural wonders that leave you inspired and breathless. Notice the gradual change in flora as you climb higher in altitude.
Witness the grandeur of Mount Ngauruhoe, which lies between Mount Tongariro, Mount Ruapehu, and a multitude of complex, active volcanoes. If you're interested, your guide can also point out different filming locations from the Lord of the Rings trilogy as you make your way through this mythic landscape.
