Looking to get away from a dull, wet weekend in Auckland and have some fun? Sit back, relax - we'll transport you to Mt. Ruapehu and arrange everything including, cosy accommodation, daily breakfast, Saturday night dinner and the ski field shuttle!  

 Looking to get away from a dull, wet weekend in Auckland and have some fun? We know how! Sit back and relax and let us transport you down to Mt. Ruapehu. Enjoy a warm, friendly, relaxed stay in your temperature controlled rooms at Pipers Lodge in National Park. Allow us to sort out your breakfasts and your Saturday night dinner, and shuttle you up and down from the ski fields (Whakapapa or Turoa) each day.

And, after a gratifying day of riding, don't let the fun stop there! Relax in a hot tub, play some table tennis or pool or just soak up the heat from the fireplace, all provided at your lodge.

What happens if the weather is bad? Put your mind at ease because we've got a solution! We have many other adventure activities available for your group to choose from instead.  We have teamed up with some other awesome tour operators to arrange discounted prices on activities for you that are usually only offered to operators and employees only!  Some of the activities available are listed below:
