Tongariro Crossing      Tongariro Crossing Winter

Tongariro  Alpine Crossing

The Tongariro Alpine Crossing is heralded as the best one-day trek in New Zealand and is regarded as among the top ten single-day treks in the world.
Many who complete the 19.4-kilometer journey will tell you the climbs can be steep and the weather unpredictable, though worth it in every aspect. 

If you are walking the Tongariro Alpine Crossing independently please note that this is a point to point hike, so a shuttle needs to be organised to get you to the start of the Crossing. The summer season runs from the end of October to the end of April. 

Alternatively you can consider the fully guided option as the guides will provide you with commentary and ensure you are properly fitted out for this hike. Most of our guests take between the 6 and 8 hours to complete the Crossing. During the winter months, May and October it is essential to book a guided tour.
