Mt Ruapehu Crater Lake Guided Walk

PLEASE NOTE: As at the week ending Sunday 9th October, DOC have reversed their suspension of activities outside the Mt Ruapehu Crater Zone. Adrift Tongariro are now allowed to guide up to 700m of the Crater Lake. All those who have postponed bookings can now redeem their booking. We are also now taking new bookings for the Mt Ruapehu Crater Lake Guided Hike! With snow up until the end of January, this is a fantastic snow experience using crampons and ice axes.


For those who like a manageable challenge, we offer a full day Ruapehu Guided Walk. Mt. Ruapehu is the highest (2797m) of the three active andesitic volcanoes in the Tongariro National Park. The last eruption on Mt. Ruapehu was in 2007. Join us for lunch on top of the North Island highest volcano from where you can gaze down into the geothermal waters of the crater lake. Please note this is not a track and is less stable walking than on the Tongariro Alpine Crossing.

The walk begins at the Whakapapa Ski area at the top of the Bruce Road on Mt. Ruapehu. There may be an option of taking a chairlift up to Knoll Ridge cafe. This option will depend on the group on the day and if the chairlifts are operating. Payment for the chairlift  is made to Ruapehu Alpine Lifts (situated at the start of the walk). The lifts close at 4.00 pm daily, should conditions deteriorate during the day the lifts may have to be closed earlier.
