Great, maybe, once-in-a-lifetime experience. Would definitely recommend, especially for Lord Of The Rings fans. The track is a bit challenging, requires good physical form, but it definitely worth it

The view was breathtaking.
It was a wonderful experience for me, thanks to the great guide and team. The weather was very changeable, snow, rain, wind and sunshine, but a real adventure on the volcano.

Had an amazing day. Stu, our guide, did a great job of looking after us. He ensured that we were as safe as possible and also gave us a lot of insight about the history and geography of the Tongariro national park.

The guide we had (Chris) was very safety conscious regarding the walk and made sure everyone had the right equipment. So we got off to an assured start. We didn't complete the walk due to the weather conditions and turned back before the half way point. Ironically, despite being so risk adverse, he was looking at his mobile phone while driving the van back to the pick up point; a complete no no from a safety perspective. Not a big issue but, despite all the walkers engaging with Chris, he made no effort to talk a
about anything else apart from himself and his experiences. An opportunity missed, particularly with the children who were there.
