Incredible. I am not a regular hiker, and I found this both physically and mentally challenging but my gosh was it worth it. Not only is this Mount Doom, but being so close to a volcano was amazing.…Full review by Sasha F

My husband and I would like to do the Tongariro Alpine Crossing but felt intimidated by the terrain. We are casual hikers, have done several hikes in Norway, Torres del Paine and hiked to the base camp of Mt Everest. We are in our 70s, in good health but slow hikers. What will happen to our ride if we take longer than expected to complete the hike?
A:
I am so sorry for the very late response. If the timing is still relevant regarding your trip, we would recommend a guided hike. In that way, you will be assured a driver for the return.
what happen if you park more than 4 hour at mangatepopo car park where there is 4 hours parking restriction?
A:
Much easier to book a shuttle, that way you have a ride back to hotel if you make the crossing or if you have to turn back. Heard they were giving large fines so shuttle would be much cheaper.
In the next few weeks, my partner is going to hike the crossing and I am his drop-off and pick-up person. Can anyone give me ideas of what to do during the day while he is on the track, that is safe for me to do alone? Thank you so much in advance!
