超棒的体验
很棒的体验，集合地点很好找，领队三个毛利小哥活力满满，幽默负责，介绍了毛利语不同山 湖的名字，虽然记不住哈哈，还有塔拉韦拉火山与他们祖先的故事；提供原生登山杖和鞋套，很有用，下山的路是很陡的火山石，瞬间学会滑步，景色超棒，有时间一定要参加

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.
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.

一段令人難忘的旅程
十分推薦此行程，可一覽壯闊的火山景象，隨著嚮導的步伐深入火山底部，過程雖然驚險，但嚮導經驗豐富可信賴，此外進出保護區的山路是另一個驚喜，是真實的踫跳過山車！！
