Tongariro Crossing

Tongariro Alpine Crossing is considered the best day hike in New Zealand. If the weather is good, you can see views of the three active volcanoes in the Tongariro National Park - Tongariro, Ngauruhoe and Ruapehu. A bus takes hikers from Turangi population to the beginning of the path of a 19.5 km long trail and then it picks them up on the other side.
