The Ruapehu region is a heady mix of action and adventure, perfect for snow lovers as the location of the North Island’s two best ski fields. A visit to the Tongariro Crossing in National Park is a must and top this off with a visit to Whanganui National Park, taking in magical waterfalls during your epic paddle down Whanganui River. A trip to Mt Ruapehu wouldn't be complete without checking out the snow at one of the ski fields in Ohakune during Winter, and of course getting a photo with the giant carrot! A ninety minute trip from Taupo or four hour drive from Auckland, be ready for your next adventure! All of our Ruapehu accommodations are pre-inspected prior to your arrival and are ready for instant online booking.
