From Rotorua Hiking | Mt Tarawera Guided Volcanic Crater Hike Experience - 4.5hrs
Glad to hear you had such a great experience! It sounds like a perfect mix of stunning scenery, a relaxed pace, and insightful guidance. The 4WD van ride must have added a real sense of adventureâand spotting wallabies is always a bonus! Nga Mihi / Thank you From the Team at Kaitiaki Adventures :)

Great experience.8
Top service getting driven up to the base of Mt Tarawera. Pere the guide gave some great insite to the area and interesting cultural history. The walk was well paced and no rush. We'll worth the adventure.

Fantastic Mt. Tarawera Experience
Fantastic guides Dan and AJ gave us a great insight into local culture and took great care of us all as we completed the trek. We shared amazing views and experiences as we went round the volcano rim and down into the crater. What a privilege to be part of such a great experience.

Kia Ora Peter. Thank you for your review! We are glad you had a great time with us and with Dan and AJ as your guides. Hope to see you back again. Nga Mihi

Enjoy the hike but
Hiking Mt Tarawera was one of the highlight of the trip and we were really looking forward to that. However, the guide was late for more than one hour to pick us up. Their office did inform us in advance that he will be 15 mins late but turned out we waited for almost 1.5 hours. We have other arrangements after the trip and that got postponed due to that. I have never experienced such delay for a guided tour, purely unacceptable! Mt Tarawera was beautiful and we really enjoyed the scenery. The hike was quite difficult however. It is described as moderate on the website but it can be quite challenging for some people. You have to slide down the steep mountain after reaching the top and it was quite intimidating at first. Just wish we were better prepared.

Kia Ora Anonymous person! We are sorry the tour timings didn't work out for the day, This was due to an unexpected change is staffing. We are still glad you enjoyed the trip! We have also a frequently asked questions page on our website that helps to prepare for the tour. We hope you enjoyed the rest of your travels! Nga Mihi, Kaitiaki Adventures

Awesome!
It takes some effort to do this hike but the views are worth it. Not for kids or anyone allergic to exercise. There are some tough climbs. We really learned a lot about the mountain from the guides too. If you’re up to the challenge I would recommend this.

Great Trip
Beautiful views. Tramped at the pace of the slowest person with plenty of stops to look around. Knowledgeable young guides. The trip in the 4wd van on the way up was an experience in itself. Saw wallabies.
