Tongariro River Fishing

Welcome to the Tongariro Experience. The central plateau of the North Island was formed by volcanic upheavals over hundreds of thousands of years forming one of natures finest adventure playgrounds.

From the sacred mountains of Ruapehu, Ngauruhoe and Tongariro to the south, to the vast expanse of lake Taupo to the North, we are proud to call this home and offer a range of adventure activities as diverse as this wilderness landscape.
