It is home to Ruapehu, Tongariro and Ngauruhoe, the great mountains of the central North Island's volcanic plateau. You walk through stunning alpine gardens and over moonlike land shaped by lava flows.
The Tongariro Alpine Crossing, a full day walk, is regarded as the best in New Zealand.

Not only do you get to see Mount Doom, Orc Country and the remains of the movie sites, you'll also encounter beauty with captivating views and scenery.
