Great, not to be missed adventure… - We had an amazing day! So lucky with the weather, making the views spectacular! It was quite a tough climb, both up and down, so we would question the description of a moderate walk? However, we managed it without any problem, and were very pleased to have gone ahead with it. The guides, and driver, were excellent, informative, friendly, helpful and very cheery. Highly recommend this tour, but just be aware, it’s high, and steep in places, and the scree on the way down is deep, wear decent boots and either high socks or gaiters 😃

Combo hike/raft is fabulous! - We did the combo half day crater hike and rafting —it was great!! Picked up promptly at our Aura Accommodation hotel (highly recommend) and after very bumpy ride on dirt road up mt started our hike. Hiked about 900 ft up with beautiful views of crater at top! Im 57 and huffed a little but doable. Our guide Hare Gave Maori history bits and then we descended down into crater! You MUST go down into crater to get to other side—two of our group had slick sneakers so backed out. My adult daughter did it in Asics and my husband rented hiking boots at hut since he only had sandals. Super fun! For combo, they drop you off in town have hour for lunch on own, then pick up for rafting. Connor and Jack kept us laughing and safe—crazy drop over falls and you WILL get wet!! Totally thrills!

A Great Experience - A wonderful experience! After a fifty minute drive, the last section over fairly bumpy dirt track we arrived at the start of our trek. The initial views were stunning. We were lucky. We had a clear day. The views of this amazing landscape got better. Our guides were informative and helpful. The walk was challenging at times, but exhilarating. The scree scramble was particularly memorable! It wasn’t a long hike. Only a couple of hours, but well worth it. A thoroughly memorable day out!

Amazingly beautiful landscape within the crater slopes of Mt. Tarawera. - Great hiking experience with new experience of scurrying down scoria slopes of Mt Tarawera. Made most enjoyable by guides Rangi and Piri.

A truly memorable experience - It felt really special to be able to visit the crater of Mount Tarawera. It felt barren and isolated, with breathtaking views. The guides were friendly and enthusiastic. The walk itself had challenging parts which added a bit of adrenaline to the mix.

Unique hike within... - Unique hike inside a crater of the sleeping volcano. The photos do not do justice to the view and landscape that can be appreciated. You're taken up in a van to the low rim of the crater, and there begins the tour bordering the crater to finish inside it. That, you have to keep in mind that it is not such an easy hike in certain sections. Very good experience!

Fantastic experience! - All perfect! Good experience with a great guides, always with good mood. We saw beautiful views and landscapes, I will do it again if I could

Loved every minute it - Amazing experience from pick up to drop off. The team leading us were fun, knowledgeable and made the whole trip a pleasure. The scenery and the challenge of climbing up and then running down into the crater was second to none. Highly recommend

Great volcano trip - Great experience, views and tour guide! It was a very good experience full of great views, interesting facts about the volcano and the surroundings and all with a good pace accommodating all in the group. I highly recommend this trip!

Mt. Tarawera, rerehua! - My friends and I had an amazing experience in exploring Mt. Tarawera. The vibrant colours of the mountain added to it’s unique beauty! ngā mihi!
