Descrição

The flat track follows both sides of the Tongariro River with multiple entry points. Choose between the 15 km loop and several short walks, for example to the Tongariro River Lookout at the northern end of the loop, which offers a view of the river against the backdrop of the Tongariro National Park mountains. The track passes through native bush and urban areas, and partially runs alongside farmland. Along the way, you'll find various small fisherie tracks leading down to the river. A birding highlight is the resident Whio (Blue Duck), a rare endemic species found in fast-flowing mountain rivers. Other common sightings include shags, Welcome Swallow, New Zealand Bellbird, and New Zealand Fantail.
