I expected to climb a volcano but did not expect to slide down into the crater and walk inside of it!!!! Initially scary but it was so fun! The views were really beautifullll too and I especially like the walk inside the crater! Highly recommend!
It gets hot mid hike so I would suggest to wear layers that easy to take off when it gets hot! :)

The weather wasn't the greatest but it was good to experience the maunga in other elements such as fog, rain, wind and the cold. Our two kaitiaki were good and able to give us kōrero i roto i Te Reo Māori, nō reira e mihi ana kia kōrua Taiwera rāua ko Perez.
