Alpine village within Tongariro National Park, at the base of Mount Ruapehu. Great place and panorama and good chance to see North Island Brown Kiwi.
Whakapapa Village is the main entrance into the Tongariro National Park. The national park stretches around the massif of the three active volcanoes Mount Ruapehu, Mount Ngauruhoe, and Mount Tongariro. There are many beautiful short and longer walking tracks that begin in Whakapapa Village. The central location of the village within the national park gives spectacular views of all three volcanoes. It is a good area to spot or hear North Island Brown Kiwi. Other birds in the area include Masked Lapwing, Swamp Harrier, Rifleman, Tui, Grey Gerygone, New Zealand Bellbird, Silvereye and Tomtit.
From State Highway 47 going north or south, take the clearly signposted turn-off onto State Highway 48. It is about a 4 hr 30 min drive from either Auckland or Wellington.
