Tongariro National Park Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Tongariro National Park is located at the southern end of the Rotorua and Taupo geothermal areas in the central North Island of New Zealand. Spectacular volcanoes and indigenous Maori culture are its features. In 1990 and 1993, UNESCO included Tongariro National Park as a cultural and natural heritage in the World Heritage List. The park is a very famous volcanic park in New Zealand. There are 15 volcanic craters that have been active or are active in modern times, arranged in a line and extending to the northeast. These include three well-known active volcanoes, namely Donggriro, Naiuruh and Ruapehu. Mount Ruapehu is the apex of the North Island, with an altitude of 2,796 meters. The top is covered with snow all year round. It is a famous ski resort and a "young" active volcano that is only 750,000 years old. The most spectacular of the three volcanoes is the Neuruh Volcano, which is conical in shape and has a steep slope. The top is a crater with a diameter of 400 meters, which is a very typical conical volcano. It has been active since the 1830s. The Donggriro Volcano is about 1980 meters above sea level and has a wide peak, including a series of craters such as the north mouth, the south mouth, the middle mouth, the west mouth, and the red mouth.

The Tongariro Ring Line is one of the most famous hiking routes, nearly 20km, passing many hills, and reaching the highest point you can see several sulphur lakes with blue-green light. It takes about 7 hours.
Tonga also has the most spectacular water jet hole in the South Pacific. There is an observation deck on the beach, and the coastal rocks for several kilometers stir white waves under the beating of the waves. The water columns spewed from the crevices of the rocks are large and small, and have the rhythm of the sea. There should be a symphony that should feel like a scene.
