Perfekter Service für das Tongariro Crossing

Super nettes Personal und Abholung direkt vor der Tür. Eine Änderung der Adresse zur Abholung war außerdem auch noch kurzfristig möglich. Zwei Personen hatten sich auf dem Rückweg nach Taupo etwas verspätet, aber auch auf diese wurde noch kurz gewartet, sodass alle wieder zurück mit nach Taupo sind.

Tongariro Shuttle ausgezeichnet

Der Shuttleservice war pünktlich und der Fahrer sehr freundlich und gab uns die letzten Infos zum Walk. Bei der Rückfahrt wurden uns nach wem heißen Marsch leckere Wassereises gereicht.

Nichts für unerfahrene

Der Transport war sehr bequem und hat gut funktioniert es gab sogar ein Eis zu Abkühlung. Die Wanderung selber ist nichts für unerfahrene Wanderer es gibt heftige Winde schlechte Sicht und die Strecke ist besonders am Anfang sehr anspruchsvoll.
