We completed the Tongariro Crossing on Monday. Our guide Terry was fantastic with his background experience as a paramedic, and with LSAR, and local knowledge you can have full confidence in his ability to guide you safely. This is very important if it is your first time walking the TC. His commentary and the lunch provided were both excellent. In these times supporting local operators like TGW is a great way to contribute to our economy so if you can please do it, you won't be disappointed. We really enjoyed our day, and hope you will too.

I walked the Alpine Crossing with Tongariro Guided Walks and can 100% recommend. Our guide was very friendly and had a ton of interesting things to say and the views were absolutely spectacular. I could also borrow extra equipment (walking poles and some items of clothing) with no extra charge and lunch was delicious. Overall it was an absolutely wonderful day, stress-free despite track's challenges. Thank you for the great time!
We completed the Tongariro Crossing in November guided by Olivia and driver Cam. The weather wasn't great when we set off but was due to clear so the hike went ahead. Olivia and Cam were great in ensuring everyone had suitable clothing and enough water before we set off (all included in the price). A tasty sandwich and plenty of snacks were also provided. The weather was closely monitored during the walk to make sure it was safe to carry on. Luckily the weather blew over and we got clear blue skies and sunshine which made the views even more amazing. The pace was comfortable for our small group with plenty stops when needed. Olivia was fantastic throughout. She had good knowledge of the trail, interesting stories and was especially good with my wife who is a less experienced hiker. Due to the uncertain weather forecast the general shuttle buses were cancelled so without a guide we would have missed out on an amazing day. I'm really glad we chose Tongariro Guided Walks, it was well worth it.
I really enjoyed the Alpine crossing hike with Terry. He's incredibly knowledgeable and shared interesting stories about hiking in the area, the geology etc. Also just great conversation about life in general which is awesome considering how long this hike is. Terry was very well equipped with gear like base layers, hiking boots etc enabling anyone to do the hike. He also paced the tour to the speed of the hikers (I was slow on the uphills and not for a moment did I feel like I was letting folks down). There was a wonderful snack package and Terry ensured that with his tips and tricks, we did the extremely long and sometimes challenging hike really easily. Given how hot the day was, he had his team bring us iced water on the trail as well ensuring we were well hydrated and refreshed. I can't recommend Tongariro Guided Hikes enough. Great communication, planning and friendly staff!
We loved this well organized guided walk, these guys organize everything for you! Our guides Julian and Liv were extremely knowledgeable and clearly loved their jobs and fun to hang out with too. The conditions changed quickly and we needed help navigating the change so it's best to hire a guide.
Thanks to Terry and Cam for the best hike of our lives on the Tongariro crossing. One can truly feel your dedication and knowledge about the area. This hike is spectacular!
We were so glad we booked this guided walk. Our guide was Olivia and she was stellar! As a bonus, it was only the two of us with the guide! Not only did we learn a ton along the way (and we peppered her with a thousand questions), she was so patient and kind. I have a bad knee but we took it slow and it worked out great. It was super windy at a few points and Olivia always made sure we were safe and warm. They had literally everything to outfit you including snacks, lunch and water. We saw quite a few people not prepared and having to turn back (in shorts or no hats/mitts). It was worth every dollar! Also they picked us up right from our Airbnb and dropped us off (thanks Camo!). We saw people waiting for shuttles when we finished but our van was ready and waiting for us. Also they monitor the weather conditions (wind speeds, rain etc) so you don’t have to worry about it. If your thinking about booking, don’t think and just book it! It’s seriously worth it!
My friend and I had a great guided hike up Mt Ruapehu to the crater lake with Terry. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about the geology, flora and landmarks visible on our hike. He was well prepared for any unforeseen challenges that may have eventuated, so safety was obviously a priority. Terry provided comfortable hiking boots and socks, poles, and wet weather gear in case we needed it. A tasty lunch and hot drink, too We had a most enjoyable day with great company in such an impressive landscape. Thank you Terry for helping us tick this off our bucket lists.
