Sit back and enjoy the mesmerising panoramic views of the natural volcanic landscape of the Central Plateau as you’re transferred to and from the Tongariro Alpine Crossing naturally including their Ma?ri blessings experience, photography, walking poles, and a free celebratory cold drink at the end.
Meet your hosts at your Turangi accommodation from 5am to 8am to transfer you to the start of the Tongariro Alpine Crossing and return. With the early starts you’ll miss the crowds and enjoy the sunrise.
En route your hosts will share naturally their Ma?ri blessings experience amongst this majestic landscape before letting you set off on your journey. You will then be met at the end of the crossing for your return journey, with a celebratory free cold drink with your name on it awaiting you.
If you have any medical concerns please seek prior advice from a your doctor.
A minimum of two people are required for the tour to proceed.
Access to the crossing is weather dependent. Please check in with the experience provider at least one day before your booking date via email or phone to confirm weather conditions.
Avoid denim jeans. Prepare for the weather conditions including wet weather gear. Sturdy footwear is important. It is recommended that you bring sufficient supplies including food, water, first aid kit, toilet paper, sunscreen, and headlamp. Be prepared for all four seasons in one day in the Tongariro National Park volcanic environment where alpine weather conditions can change suddenly.
The experience departs Turangi, Central North Island.

We want you to have the most enriching experience possible, so if this means swapping your jet boat experience for wine tasting then we’ve got you covered. Simply exchange online or contact our Customer Experience Team and we’ll do the work for you.
Not only do we handpick the best experiences for you, we also guarantee you’ll pay the same as you would buying direct from the experience provider. If you find the same experience advertised at a lower standard price on the same day by the same provider, simply take a screenshot of the experience advertised at the lower price and tell us within 30 days of your purchase and we’ll match it.
We understand life gets busy, which is why all vouchers and gift cards purchased have a 5-year expiry. The only exception to our expiry terms is if the experience has already been booked in. We honour the purchase price of our experiences for 18 months. If you book your experience after this time and the price of the experience increases you can either pay the difference or exchange it for another experience free of charge.
We know the trust consumers place in ratings and reviews is tied directly to authenticity. That’s why we use Bazaarvoice. We believe that reviews should represent the genuine, unbiased, and transparent opinion about the author’s experience with a product or service. Reviews are not altered in any way by anyone other than the original author — including corrections for spelling or grammar. Reviews are not filtered, edited, or deleted simply because they are negative or are lower-rated.
