Whakapapa is a world-class adventure playground on the northern slopes of Mt Ruapehu. We offer year-round sightseeing on the Sky Waka gondola and operate one of New Zealand’s largest ski areas from June to October. From panoramic volcanic views in summer to expansive alpine terrain in winter, Whakapapa delivers an unforgettable alpine experience to all. Now operating as Whakapapa Holdings Limited (WHL), we’re proud to carry Whakapapa forward — with renewed focus, strong local roots, and a clear path ahead.
