From the 4WD experience up/down the mtn road, which rivals any theme park experience (note, not for the faint hearted!) to the stunning views and landscapes of Mt Tarawera, and the surrounded scenery, right through to the scree run down into the crater (also not for the faint hearted!).
The walk isn't long (in km's), has a few steep sections, but they aren't long, good sturdy walking shoes/boots with good grip 100% recommended. The views/topography all around the craters (there are three craters!) and from the summit were exceptional! (Rivals the Tongariro crossing!). You can see all the Rotorua Lakes, The coast (Whakaari, Whale Is, Motiti Is) and inland to Mt Ruapehu even. Recommend on a bluebird/no wind day (we were very lucky!).
Guides very relaxed and made everything seem easy. Lovely guys. Would 100% recommend.
