Incredible day with incredible people! - Overall, this hike was one of the highlights of our time around Rotorua. We really enjoyed the incredible scenery and views as we climbed, but the stories and history of the area and its people made the day even more special. An experience we won’t ever forget!

Stunning raw nature beauty - The beauty of mother nature was stunning. We loved the scenery and mountains. We were pleased the direct trail was under maintenance so we did a longer trail and saw more. Although it would have been nice to be advised of this before we were on the trail as we had arranged to meet friends for lunch. And instead of arriving back at 12.45 we arrived back at 2.15. I really recommend the walk - stunning views, a bit of adventure, history and fun (going down that scree slope was so much fun). The walk isnt hard - there are some short sharp sections but everyone in our group managed without any difficulty. The disappointing thing was the long long long frequent breaks. We would walk a little bit and warm up and then stop for 15 mins and get cold. The group was keen to move on at the first stop, but we just hung around and hung around and hung around. And the same at each stop. I talked to the guide in front while walking but she had her earpods in and didnt hear anything or acknowledge. And at the top the guides on their devices. Fortunately it was an easy group with no hassles but go prepared. take food, be self sufficient. on a windy day it can be cold waiting around. but then hot in the sun - beanie and sunhat both required. The bouncy drive to the top and back down rivals many amusement park rides. I definitely recommend the tour - and i would recommend the full day over the half day as you get to see so much more fissures and craters and features.

Great experience - Great experience and guidance by our tour guides. Great views from the top of the craters!! We had short breaks for everyone to catch up.

Stunner! - A guided walk into a crater with amazing views and guides that keep you entertained all the way with fantastic stories and some history lessons. Something not to miss!

Loved it! - This was a great experience, and I would highly recommend it. We enjoyed: the journey on the four-wheel drive track through the bush, seeing the great split in the earth due to the 1886 eruption, walking/sliding down the scoria slopes of the mountain and hearing the history of the place from the guides.

Amazing! - We loved every minute up on the crater! Views and scenery are amazing, the walk isn't super long but has some steep sections up and down but 100% worth it! The scree run looks scary but once you get going it's a lot of fun! Lots of information about the culture and rocks in the crater. We would definitely recommend this tour. Thank you 😊

A Beautiful Climb - It was a tough climb for me but the views and sites were always interesting. Owner Jason and guide Rangiora were fun, nice, and compassionate. Never in a rush and always considerate of those at the rear. It was actually worthwhile even though I'm not a hiking/climbing aficionado.

Excellent morning crater walk - Really enjoyable experience Beautiful views of crater and surrounding area, not too taxing but technically challenging in areas due to loose ground underfoot, but good fun. Excellent guide- knowledgeable and friendly, took some lively photos for us all.

What you should do in Rotorua! - It was so amazing I can't put it into words! The detailed explanations from the two guides, the bumpy mountain road drive (more than I expected), the three-colored rock mountain in white, red, and black, the 360-degree view from the summit, the slope at about 45 degrees, the view from inside and outside the volcano... it was an amazing experience that will probably only come once in a lifetime. I recommend this to people who love rocks, mountain climbing, and nature, and want to have an exciting experience! In addition, this mountain is sacred to the Maori, and there is a limit to the number of people who can climb it. In fact, I only had two days in four months to make a reservation. Thank you so much for the valuable experience!

Absolute Must-Do if you are in Rotorua - The tour was amazing! Great organization, great guides, great views! I had a lot of fun! Absolute recommendation if you are in Rotorua!
