The trip was well worth it. This has been on my bucket list for quite some time and did not disappoint. The knowledge, expertise and all round care undertaken by Stu and Tai, our guides was absolutely second to none! I would recommend this experience to anyone willing to challenge themselves - such a feeling of achievement at the end. However you do need a certain level of fitness and stamina. Do your research, prepare and train realistically and you will get the most from it. My only suggestion for improvement is that it would have been great to be able to buy a cap or T shirt as a momento of the event. I feel this an opportunity missed by the operator.

Pros were that our guide was super friendly, concerned that we have the right gear, knowledgeable and very cheerful. Cons were that he seemed a bit insensitive to our pacing and a bit oblivious to some concerns about the slipperiness of the trail and the wind gusts. This may reflect more about us than him but still of note as there were only three of us on the guided walk. Overall a positive guide but I’d know to be more assertive next time.

We’d arranged this in advance via a holiday company. The day before the weather forecasts were awful -on the day itself the shuttle buses to the start of the tour were cancelled to prevent independent walkers from attempting it, and even NIWA advice was that crossings “are not recommended today”. Adrift however insisted they were going ahead, they would not refund ( we asked). Even their ranger told us visibility would be awful and they would not be able to make the crossing, as indeed they hadn’t the day before. We backed out and lost our full payment but decided our safety was more important. To add insult to injury Adrift then, when asked for a refund by our travel company, said they’d offered us one when we’d spoken the day before the tour! ( we hadn’t even had a conversation the day before). This is extremely unusual for NZ - our sky dive, our dolphin swim - all gave full refunds on the day when conditions prevented activity from happening. Adrift are certainly naming themselves correctly.
This tour in North Island is organized by Adrift Tongariro
