Join an experienced guide and view the Crater Lake on an active volcano.
Over the summer season, meet your guide at the base area of Whakapapa Ski Area for a safety briefing and introduction to the day ahead.
Starting out at 1600 meters above sea level, we grab a ride on the chairlifts to 2020 meters above sea level. This ride gives a great aerial view of the volcanic terrain. We hike through lava flows, boulder fields, and glacial terrain for about 2-3 hours to 2670 meters above sea level where we can view Ruapehu's Crater Lake.
Then it's off back down through one of the glacial valleys that contain snow until about February, which we can often slide down on - this is so much fun for young and old - a real highlight!
