This is NOT an EASY HIKE - it is an EPIC adventure - but not for those afraid of heights! - You will meet in a parking lot and then head to the volcano. The road going up is through the bush and bumpy. Porta potty stop before you head your hike starting point. We had some older members of our group hear about our course and decided to sit it out. You are given a hiking stick - take it with you. Wear hiking boots (TALL ONES) and bring water. You are essentially bringing the ring to the top of mordor LOTR style- no other way to describe this epic journey. The guides were great but they are not hauling you through this. It is up, across, down (which is like volanco skiing) and then up some serious stepped stairs - pictures and views are amazing. Be prepared, know your limits and go on this serious hike for some serious adventure!

What an amazing adventure - It was a very windy day & cold but worth every minute, a challenging hike be prepared, but the views at the top & throughout were spectacular, our tour guides were friendly & patient with everyone

Mount Tarawera Walking - I went to go Mount Tarawera walking enjoy good fun Jonathan. I like to Mount Tarawera walk good Jonathan

Great experience- even for a senior afraid of heights!😃 - Great experience. I am afraid of heights but was so intrigued by this opportunity, I signed up anyway. Not being in the same hiking shape I was in years ago, I contemplated turning back at the point of no return. I am so glad I didn’t! The guides were excellent and the experience well planned to be manageable for almost anyone. With several stops along the way, and the guides’ providing great info, there was plenty of time for me to enjoy the views without looking down while actually walking. They showed us how to navigate the scree descent so it was not as scary as I anticipated. So if you’ve never done anything like this before, and think it might be terrifying, I highly recommend doing it anyway. You will be glad you did. The surroundings are stunning and you won’t get the total appreciation any other way.

Mount Tarawera Hilke - Feb 7, 2025 - If you are in Rotorua, the hike up Mt. Tarawera is a must-do if you are physically able. Not gonna lie - it’s a bit strenuous at times, but doable if you are moderately fit and coordinated. Our guides were Chucky and Deborah. Both were awesome. Enjoyed hearing about the Māori history of the area from Chucky

Mount Tarawera - Chucky & Taiwera took us on a guided tour of Mt Tarawera, both were friendly & had great knowledge of the local area & history of Tarawera. Highly recommend this company & there friendly guides, fabulous experience 🤩

Great adventure - Epic adventure with incredible views. We had Chucky and Taiwera as our guides. Both brilliant and a wonderful representation of New Zealand. Both are locals, who showcase the best of Maori. Knowledgeable, beautiful, great sense of humour and adventure and they really took care of us all. Chucky also is the Queen of taking fantastic photos.

Spectacular views and... - Spectacular views and guides! Highly recommend and would absolutely do it again. Hike met all of our expectations and more!
