Ruapehu Activities

It doesn't matter what time of the year you visit the Ruapehu region - there is always something to do.

There is an abundance of outdoor activities such as Hiking, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, rafting, flightseeing,  Mountain Biking, Skiing and Snowboarding, four wheel driving, golfing, hunting, and horse riding.

You'll be fascinated by the ever-transforming landscape that surrounds you at every turn, from volcanic formations beneath you to lush rain forests above, from trickling streams to fast flowing rivers. 

Step indoors and engage with the culture, history and heritage of the area, indulge in a little retail therapy or simply relax beside a roaring fire at your favourite Accommodation. 

Only 90 minutes from Taupo, activities in the Ruapehu region are diverse and varied.  Whether you’re based in National Park, Taumarunui, or Ohakune, activities are available throughout the region.
