The oldest national park in New Zealand, Tongariro National Park is also the forth oldest in the world. Home to three of the world’s most active live volcanoes, Ruapehu, Tongariro and Ngauruhoe, Tongariro National Park covers 795m2 of the North Islands volcanic plateau, creating an environment rich in beauty, history and geological fascination.
It is a dual World Heritage site, protected for both its natural and cultural significance. Its landscape is diverse. Herb groves and beech forests give way to barren tussock-dotted desert and stark grey lava flow mountains slope away from their snowy peaks to broad plateaus where hot springs steam and bubble.
A vital part of any North Island vacation itinerary, the park provides a range of adventures through all seasons. Two of New Zealand’s largest ski fields, Whakapapa and Turoa, are on the magnificent slopes of Mount Ruapehu and skiing and snowboarding here has the added attraction of fun on an active volcanoe!
There is not only winter enjoyment to be had in this remarkable area. Tourism operators provide a myriad of activities in and around the national park and there is plenty of excellent accommodation available from camping grounds to luxurious lodges.

03 Feb 2012
The NZSO is delighted to welcome back Perry So and we herald the Chinese New Year with a concert that celebrates the splendid beauty and vibrant colours of nature.
The Yellow River Cantata by Xian Xinghai has become one of China’s most beloved compositions. This immense musical landscape, bursting with joyous folk melodies and the vitality and might of China’s great Yellow River, is brought to life by the astonishing virtuosity of soloist John Chen.
This festive concert opens with Ross Harris’ luminescent and colourful The Floating Bride, The Crimson Village, performed with the crystalline soprano of Jenny Wollerman. Closing with music that is blissful, lazy, thunderous and heartfelt, Beethoven’s 6th symphony is a triumphant work, fit to welcome in the Year of the Dragon.
