Itinerary
Your day begins with our shuttle & transfer services where you are picked up from your location of accommodation dependent on which departure time you choose. To compliment your already research of the Tongariro Alpine Crossing awareness and preparedness before coming with us the locals, we’ll also share our knowledge, culture and stories. All this information whilst you are driven to the heart of the Tongariro National Park, Aotearoa New Zealand’s known best one-day hike the Tongariro Alpine Crossing.
On transfer to the beginning of the Tongariro Alpine Crossing track at Mangatepopo Road which will take around 45-60 minutes. You're journey naturally experiences our ‘Maōri blessings’ where everyone gathers together. A speech in Maōri is given with acknowledgements and respect which is then explained in English approximately 5-minutes in total.
After the korero speech in Maōri, and English, there will then be a team photo, first one for safety, second one for fun! This photo is available free from the social media pages and website.
You can use the walking poles for free as you self-guide hike. Very useful when descending down from off the mountain or just to help to take that little extra pressure off your legs. Various sizes therefore check them out on drop off point.
You will be picked up at the end of your hike in the afternoon to your booking time from the trail end platform of Ketetahi. You will be greeted with a free celebratory cold drink - your life saver!
