All Ohakune Tours & Excursions in 2026

Hike the Tongariro Alpine Crossing through Tongariro National Park on a full-day guided trek that explores a spectacular volcanic landscape. Cover several miles of trail past volcanic craters, mountain springs, and vivid alpine lakes, with views of active volcanoes. Traveling with a guide means you are fully prepared and equipped for the challenging terrain of Tongariro National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that's gorgeous in summer or winter.

The Tongariro Alpine Crossing is one of New Zealand’s best day walks, but not everyone has the time or ability to complete the full walk. Ideal for travellers short on time, this morning half-day guided walk gives you a taste of some of the park’s most impressive features without the full physical challenge. Hike to the Soda Springs waterfall and admire the stark volcanic landscape along the way.

The 12 mile (19 kilometer) Tongariro Alpine Crossing is considered among the best day hikes in the world. Get the most out of it with a private guided hike. Your guide will know how to avoid the most crowded parts of the trail, and can cater to a range of fitness levels. The weather is changeable on the mountain, and your guide will constantly check conditions to keep you safe.

Bike along the historic Ohakune Old Coach Road at your own pace during a self-guided ride through spectacular scenery. Your tour includes the use of bike and helmet, and transportation to the starting point in Horopito. The 4-hour ride back to Ohakune offers views of Mount Ruapehu, the Taonui Railway Viaduct, Haeremaere Stream, Waimarino Plains, the historic Hapuawhenua Viaduct, and native New Zealand plant and animal life.
