Tongariro National Park boasts dual World Heritage status.
It was designated the title on the 23 September 1887, signalling the importance of the area for its outstanding natural features and the cultural importance that the peaks and rivers represent to local Maori.

Ngati Tuwharetoa paramount chief, Te Heuheu Tukino IV gifted 2630 hectares of the central volcanic area to the New Zealand Government.
The gift included the summits of Tongariro, Ngauruhoe and Ruapehu. This gift ultimately means the area is now secure, meaning everyone can enjoy the mountains forever.
