Now that Aotearoa is at Covid19 Alert Level 1, we are operating small tours with special pricing for the rest of 2020. Contact us for more details and we can create a unique experience just for you. Please note, we create these trips on demand, so if you're a solo traveler, please contact us to check if there is a trip you can join on to. Easy walks in and around the varied landscapes of the Whakapapa area of Mt. Ruapehu. A great option if the weather is not suitable for the Tongariro Crossing or other high altitude walks.

Taranaki Falls walk offers a mix of open grasslands, summer-time alpine flowers, expansive views of Ruapehu and Ngauruhoe and lush Mountain Beech Forest.

 

Silica Rapids track moves through Mountain beech forest, over board-walked alpine bogs and past ancient lava flows. 

With luck we may see native Karerarea (NZ Falcons) hunting in the open grasslands.

These Silica formations are the only one of this kind in Tongariro National Park.
