The Tongariro Northern Circuit and Alpine Crossing in spring bring wild, beautiful, and unpredictable weather- sunshine one minute, freezing winds or snow the next. Layering is non-negotiable! 🥾🏔️

Here is your essential packing checklist before you tackle one of NZ’s most iconic day hikes:

🧥 Clothing & Layers:
• Base layer: Moisture-wicking thermal top & bottoms (merino wool or synthetic - no cotton!)
• Mid layer: Warm fleece or lightweight down jacket
• Outer shell: Windproof & waterproof jacket with a hood
• Accessories: Thermal beanie, waterproof gloves, & neck gaiter
• Footwear: Sturdy, broken-in hiking boots with good ankle support & wool socks

🎒 Gear & Essentials:
• Backpack with a rain cover
• Sunglasses, sunblock, & lip balm (alpine reflection is strong!)
• Headlamp / flashlight + extra batteries
• Fully charged phone + portable power bank
• First aid kit & personal medications

🫗 Fuel & Hydration:
• At least 2–3 litres of water (there are no drinkable water taps on the track)
• High-energy snacks & a solid lunch (nuts, dried fruit, sandwiches, muesli bars)

⚠️ Spring Safety Tip: Spring weather on Mount Tongariro shifts in minutes. Always check the official DOC weather forecast and track conditions right before you head out, and don't hesitate to turn back if conditions turn sour.

The snow might be retreating as the weather heats up but the views are still epic. Riding Sky Waka this summer is a great experience, as the views over the Central Plateau are sensational.

Treat yourself to a spot of lunch or an afternoon treat of high tea and watch the world go by at the Knoll Ridge Chalet.

And of course, when you return to earth, come stay with us! Only 30 minutes drive from the experience.

You might know it better as Mount Doom. This perfectly conical volcano starred in Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy, and it's right on our doorstep in Tongariro National Park.

But did you know, Mt Ngāuruhoe is the youngest vent in the Tongariro volcanic complex, and it first erupted around 2,500 years ago.

Many people treat it as its own mountain, but geologically it's a secondary cone of Mt Tongariro. Together they make up the volcanic landscape you walk through on the Tongariro Alpine Crossing.

You'll spot that perfect cone from all over the park, and we're right next door. 🥾

Whakapapa, Mt Ruapehu currently has the best excuse to call in sick... sorry we mean book an extra-long weekend! When you book a day pass this spring for only $15 extra, you get an extra full day on the mountain. Hold on to those snow memories just that bit longer, and of course stay with us!

Enjoy a hot spa and a comfortable bed at the end of a fun day on the slopes. Just make sure the boss doesn't catch on to this special at the same time.

Thanks to all the Hotrodders that filled us up for the weekend.
Parking got a bit tight in places. Well done to Stacey who drove the roadster all the way from Auckland and back again with out getting too wet.
