Sights & Activities
The Tongariro River Trail offers enjoyable walks from the centre of town. Further afield,
good leg-stretchers include Hinemihi's Track , near the top of Te Ponanga Saddle, 8km
west of Turangi on SH47 (15 minutes return); Maunganamu Track , 4km west of Turangi
on SH41 (40 minutes return); and Tauranga-Taupo River Walk (30 minutes), which
starts at Te Rangiita, 12km north of Turangi on SH1.
The Tongariro River has some superb Grade III rapids for river rafting , as well as
Grade I stretches suitable for beginners in the lower reaches during summer.
It's also a likely spot for trout fishing , as evident by anglers stationed on every bend
of the river.
