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.
Trip Designs coordinated all travel arrangements for my daughter’s synchronized swimming team’s trip to Belgrade, Serbia for a competition. Trip Designs came highly recommended from a friend, who has used them for many, many years. Their team saved us lots of time and hassle of organizing the group travel for our athletes, coaches and parents accommodating everyone’s itineraries and specific needs. The booking process went very smoothly and we received all of our travel documents without incident. Trip Designs team went above and beyond in customer service and in getting us the best deal. We continue to use them for our international travel.
