Mount Tarawera Tour

Die Tour war für viele Teilnehmer am Limit, speziell der Abstieg in den Krater!!! Eine Teilnehmerin stieg gleich am Anfang der Tour aus und ging zum Auto zurück. Ein anderen Teilnehmer verlor das Gleichgewicht und stürzte heftig. Dabei entstand eine blutende Lippe, zwei Wackelzähne und Abschürfungen an den Beinen. Leider war das Erste-Hilfe-Set der Guides sehr dürftig ausgestattet. Mein Sohn studiert aktuell Zahnmedizin und hat sich um die Erstversorgung des Teilnehmers gekümmert. Eine bessere Ausstattung fand sich dann an der Schutzhütte. Dort erfolgte die Zweitversorgung durch meinen Sohn. Die beiden Guides waren sichtlich überfordert mit diesem Unfall!!! Der Teilnehmer musste ins Krankenhaus nach Rotorua gebracht werden.

Sehr cooler Ausflug!

Diese Tour war wirklich ein einmaliges Erlebnis! Man fährt zuerst eine Privatstraße hoch in die Berge und später läuft man dann noch 1h bzw. 150hm zum Gipfel (Rundweg insgesamt etwa 2-3h und 260hm). Die Eindrücke sind umwerfend und man fühlt sich ein bisschen wie am Grand Canyon. Geheimtipp: Bei der Halbtagestour den frühen Slot (8:15 Uhr) nehmen, da ist man im Gegensatz zum Nachmittag eher in einer kleinen Gruppe unterwegs. Die 60€ für die Tour waren auf jeden Fall gut investiert! Kamera und Bergschuhe unbedingt mitnehmen!

The missus was THRILLED

Has a wonderful time. I Love hiking so I was always gonna have fun. My girlfriend is far less enthused when hiking is the activity. But the view was just amazing. She even ended up mastering the art of sand drifting down the big hill. The tour guides were fantastic too - well informed but also just good fun. 10/10 would recommend. We often think about this great time! P.S. the car ride up is not at all a rollercoaster. Not sure what the other reviews are about. Tis a little bumpy at most and I would be shocked if anyone would let this stop them from the fantastic experience.

Amazing

The staff are excellent. Lovely young people.the walk was beautiful. Easy uphill hard to keep balance sometimes coming down hills but a lot of fun. I'm 64 overweight not overly fit and enjoyed it immensely. Younger people managed with ease. Nothing was too extreme the lovely guides kept it at a reasonable pace totally recommend

EPIC Day doing the Mount Tarawera Guided Walk.

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.
