The Tongariro Alpine Crossing is the best one-day trek in New Zealand. It is 19.4 km (12 mile) through volcanic alpine terrain. The Tongariro Alpine Crossing is located in the Tongariro National Park - New Zealand's oldest national park and a dual UNESCO World Heritage Site. Come and see for yourself the famous Red Crater, Emerald lakes and dramatic landscape. Tongariro Expeditions offer return transport to and from your accommodation in Taupo (as long as it is in the town centre).

Shuttle to and from the track from Taupo

Meeting Point

This is to be confirmed as we can pick up from most accommodation places in Taupo town.  If you are staying out of town we pick up from the Taupo information centre on Tongariro Street.

Additional Information

Please be at your pick up location 10 mins before your pick up time. There is no contact number in the morning to check out your pick up spot the day before and if you have any questions email us prior to your trip so you are confident with where to wait.

Cancellation policy

Full refund if cancelled up to 48 hours before activity starts.

Good weather is required for this experience. If we need to cancel due to poor weather, you'll be offered a different date or a full refund.

There is a minimum number of travellers for this experience. If the minimum isn't met and we need to cancel, we will offer a different date/experience or a full refund.

Terms
Due to the unstable nature of the weather in an alpine environment, we send you a weather update the day before your trip. Please check your emails for this as if we need to cancel this is the way you would find out. Not as likely, but it could happen, if we do not reach the minimum number to run the shuttles we also may cancel the day before for this reason. Again please check your emails for advice on this. It is your responsibility to prepare food and clothing appropriate for an alpine all day hike. Do not underestimate how cold, hot, thirsty and hungry you may get. Prepare well and you will have a good day.
