The world famous Tongariro Alpine Crossing track is an awesome one day adventure, taking you across spectacular and unique volcanic terrain.

You can see a cold mountain spring, old lava flows, active craters and thermal steam vents, not to mention the brilliant emerald and blue lakes - and beautiful native forest to finish.

See the special alpine flora and fauna of the Tongariro National Park, and magnificent views to mountains and lakes of the central North Island.

The Crossing is a day-hike section of the Tongariro Northern Circuit Great Walk.
