What you can expect

  • One of Tongariro National Park’s best short walks, the easy 2 hour loop to Taranaki Falls is jam-packed with fascinating natural sights and excellent mountain views. A superb way to experience the Tongariro National Park and enjoy this stunning time of day.

    The track is in two parts – an upper and lower – which form a loop with the Taranaki Falls around the halfway mark. Enjoy a refreshment while you take in the sights of the Taranaki Falls tumbling 20 metres over the edge of a large lava flow, which erupted from Ruapehu 15,000 years ago. Your guide will talk about the area with their local knowledge of geology, volcanology and New Zealand cultural history.

    Summer tours finish in the golden hour just before sunset, outside summer the tour finishes on or just before sunset. Clients can stay and watch the sunset lighting up a majestic alpine setting after the trip.

    This walk is a terrific option for those short on time or looking to maximise a travel day to or from Tongariro National Park.
