    It was a tough climb for me but the views and sites were always interesting. Owner Jason and guide Rangiora were fun, nice, and compassionate. Never in a rush and always considerate of those at the rear. It was actually worthwhile even though I'm not a hiking/climbing aficionado.

    Really enjoyable experience Beautiful views of crater and surrounding area, not too taxing but technically challenging in areas due to loose ground underfoot, but good fun. Excellent guide- knowledgeable and friendly, took some lively photos for us all.

    A group of international students had the experience to phone home about. While the weather was not great, the guides made up for an invigorating, informative and richly rewarding hike up, around and into the crater. Wish I could name them all but shout out to Jason and Anahera. Highly recommend!

    This is a short but exhilarating hike. Short in the sense of total distance travelled, but it's a good amount of time on the mountain. Our guides, Anahera and Caprice, were great and provided us with lots of information about the mountain, the surrounding land, their history, and their people. While this hike is suitable for most ages and skill levels, you should have a moderate level of fitness to do it. There are a few areas that are fairly vertical, both hiking up and hiking down, which could be difficult for people who aren't used to hiking or who have issues affecting their mobility. Overall, if you like to hike and want to see a beautiful volcanic crater with lots of awesome views, I'd definitely recommend letting this team take you up Mt. Tarawera.
