잘다녀왓어요~

시간에 딱딱 맞춰서 델러와주고 좋았어요 전 2시반쯤 도착해서 4시차 타야하나 했는데 아직 기다리구 있더라구요 4시는 너무 넉넉하니 2시좀 넘어도 빨리 타고 복귀하는게 나을듯요

Good

직접 숙소 한곳한곳 돌며 픽업해주는데, 갈 땐 빙빙 돌아가니 쫌 귀찮다 싶었는데 정말 좋은 서비스입니다. 걷는걸 아침부터 아껴서 통가리로가서 걸어야 하니까요. 통가리로는 아름다웠고, 셔틀은 마지막에도 숙소 바로 앞에 내려줘서 피곤함을 좀 더 빨리 풀 수 있었습니다.

최고의 경험

저는 트래킹을 마치고 타우포에서 오클랜드로 가는 인터시티버스 4시 막차를 꼭 타야했는데 미리 말을 못하고 아침에 픽업셔틀에서 물어봤는데도 가능하다고 하셔서 안심하고 트래킹을 즐길 수 있었어요! 7~8시간 코스라고 하지만 저를 비롯한 많은 동행분들이 6시간내외로 걸렸네요. 한시간 정도 기다려서 2시반 버스를 타고 타우포까지 아주 빠르게 도착했습니다! 도착시간이 불안해서 아침에 짐도 셔틀에 맡겨도 되냐고 물어봤는데 흔쾌히 허락해 주셔서 아주 편하게 가볍게 다녀왔어요! 그리고 한가지 더 당부드리자면 정상부근은 돌산에 경사가 가파르고 손으로 잡고 의지할 데가 없고 비도 자주 오기때문에 꼭 미끄러지지않게 등산화를 신으시고 따뜻한 방수되는 점퍼를 꼭 입으셔야 합니다! 폴대나 등산장갑도 준비하거나 렌트하시면 좋을것 같아요!

뚜벅이도 다녀 올 수 있습니다.

혼자 여행한 뚜벅이입니다. 숙소앞까지 셔틀이 픽업이 오고, 입구도착하면 지도가 나와있는 가이드북을 나눠줍니다. 그거없어도 길이 한방향이어서 길잃을걱정없이 다녀올수있습니다. 정말 너무 이쁜 풍경을 감상할수있는 좋은 기회입니다. 추천합니다.
