Ohakune
Go glamping in Okahune
Based near the Tongariro National Park World Heritage Site and Mt. Ruapehu, Ohakune is a great location for adventurers looking for the wild side of North Island. All year-round, there are plenty of outdoor activities to indulge in, including canoeing down Whanganui River and mountain biking through scenic trails in Tongariro National Park. During colder seasons, Mt. Ruapehu’s slopes turn to white, becoming a snowboarding and skiing wonderland for travelers. If you want to experience some of the region’s hot springs, visit Tongariro Alpine Crossing, a one day walk that will that you through volcanic terrain, mountain springs, and even lava flows. There, you’ll also get a breathtaking view of the Emerald Lakes vibrant with green hues. When it comes to ambient moments, it’s hard not to go with Okahune.
