Mt. Tarawera - Vulkanische geführte Wanderung

One of the most memorable experiences of my NZ trip. Wonderful guides, challenging hike and an amazingly stunning landscape. Exceeded all expectations!

Insgesamt war diese Wanderung eines der Highlights unserer Zeit rund um Rotorua. Wir genossen wirklich die unglaubliche Landschaft und Aussicht, als wir kletterten, aber die Geschichten und Geschichte der Gegend und ihrer Menschen machte den Tag noch besonderer. Ein Erlebnis, das wir nie vergessen werden!

The beauty of mother nature was stunning. We loved the scenery and mountains. We were pleased the direct trail was under maintenance so we did a longer trail and saw more. Although it would have been nice to be advised of this before we were on the trail as we had arranged to meet friends for lunch. And instead of arriving back at 12.45 we arrived back at 2.15. I really recommend the walk - stunning views, a bit of adventure, history and fun (going down that scree slope was so much fun). The walk isnt hard - there are some short sharp sections but everyone in our group managed without any difficulty. The disappointing thing was the long long long frequent breaks. We would walk a little bit and warm up and then stop for 15 mins and get cold. The group was keen to move on at the first stop, but we just hung around and hung around and hung around. And the same at each stop. I talked to the guide in front while walking but she had her earpods in and didnt hear anything or acknowledge. And at the top the guides on their devices. Fortunately it was an easy group with no hassles but go prepared. take food, be self sufficient. on a windy day it can be cold waiting around. but then hot in the sun - beanie and sunhat both required. The bouncy drive to the top and back down rivals many amusement park rides. I definitely recommend the tour - and i would recommend the full day over the half day as you get to see so much more fissures and craters and features.
