Tongariro Alpine Crossing

Tongariro Alpine Crossing New Zealand's oldest national park and a dual World Heritage Site. Prepare for the elements.

Unique landforms, including the volcanic peaks of Ngauruhoe, Tongariro and Ruapehu make the 20.2 km Tongariro Alpine Crossing NZ's best one day walk and a world-renowned trek. The Tongariro National Park is rich in both cultural identity and dramatic, awe-inspiring natural scenery. Unique landforms, including the volcanic peaks of Ngauruhoe, Tongariro and Ruapehu ensure the Tongariro Alpine Crossi

ng is considered a world-renowned trek. The Tongariro Alpine Crossing is heralded as the best one-day trek available in New Zealand, while others say it ranks among the top ten single-day treks in the world. Many who complete the 19.4-kilometre journey will tell you the climbs can be steep and the weather unpredictable, though worth it in every aspect. Ensure transport is arranged to drop you at the beginning of the track and pick you up at the end of the day.

Meet Stew, our “Mountain Man” and owner of Adrift Tongariro.

Walking the Tongariro Crossing 3,000+ times doesn’t stop him finding something new in every step. From a life-changing moment high in the Andes to building this guiding team, he does things his way — exploring “no-exit” roads, savouring the snow seasons, and helping every guest fall in love with the wild just like he did.

Favourite moment with Stew? Watching an 82-year-old guest, with no English, complete both Tangariro and Ruapehu – sliding past the young ones in snow.

Tip from the Mountain Man: Slow and steady wins the race.
