Mount Ruapehu

Mount Ruapehu, or just Ruapehu, is an active stratovolcano at the southern end of the Taupo Volcanic Zone in New Zealand. It is 23 kilometres northeast of Ohakune and 40 kilometres southwest of the southern shore of Lake Taupo, within Tongariro National Park. The North Island's major skifields and only glaciers are on its slopes.

Ruapehu, the largest active volcano in New Zealand, is the highest point in the North Island and has three major peaks: Tahurangi (2,797 m), Te Heuheu (2,755 m) and Paretetaitonga (2,751 m). The deep, active crater is between the peaks and fills with a crater lake between major eruptions.

We approached Trip Designs with a plan to travel to four European countries that required a quite extensive itinerary – connecting flights to several European destinations, hotel reservations for all destinations and transportation. And Trip Designs made it all happen. Everything ran like clockwork, even when one flight was changed. They made all the necessary arrangements to keep our vacation time on track. They even secured coach class seats with more legroom than most passengers. With this kind of outstanding customer service, efficiency and professionalism, we will use them for all our travel needs - forever!
