Mount Ruapehu

Mount Ruapehu, or just Ruapehu, is an active stratovolcano at the southern end of the Taupo Volcanic Zone in New Zealand. It is 23 kilometres northeast of Ohakune and 40 kilometres southwest of the southern shore of Lake Taupo, within Tongariro National Park. The North Island's major skifields and only glaciers are on its slopes.

Ruapehu, the largest active volcano in New Zealand, is the highest point in the North Island and has three major peaks: Tahurangi (2,797 m), Te Heuheu (2,755 m) and Paretetaitonga (2,751 m). The deep, active crater is between the peaks and fills with a crater lake between major eruptions.


Diane and Arnold are always a pleasure to work with.

I do love what I do, but they pass me on that. Not only they are very knowledgable but also they have the exeperience it takes to be amazing travel agents. If they're not here in Tampa helping us to plan a fantastic trip, they're traveling themselves to find the best destination yet.
