The beauty of Tongariro National Park and Taupo
This morning we travel south, as we head to the Tongariro National Park. The park has 3 active volcanoes, Mt. Tongariro, Mt. Ngauruhoe (Mount Doom in "The Lord of the Rings" films) and Mt. Ruapehu with its ski slopes.
​
We make our way to the Whakapapa Village where you can play in the snow. There is a Bus and Sky Waka that will take you higher up Mt. Ruapehu (own expense) and it feels like you are on top of the world.
​
After spending a few hours at the snow we drive back around Lake Taupo, where we will stop in Taupo for some photos and something to eat.
​
Next is Huka Falls which is at the beginning of the Waikato River. The Waikato River is New Zealand's largest river and you will be amazed of seeing 200,000 litres of water every second flowing over Huka Falls. Afterwards we will head back to your accommodation.
