Excellent and prompt customer service from Robyn. Online the walk appeared full but with the recent cyclone impacting the North Island I emailed to enquire if a spot was available the following morning and immediately had a response.
You set off with the full day crossing before they break off to tackle the 19.4k at pace. This walk is tailored to your pace but is still 5k over slight inclines typical of a hike. Its definitely doable provided you do these at home. The scenery is amazing to enjoy and you can see how quickly the weather changes.
They will ensure you have appropriate clothing and footwear and lend you items as needed. You take a transfer to the start where you also get picked up from again.
I did this with a lovely bunch of people and the guides were friendly and always attentive to the group whilst giving background and insight.
