“Whāia te iti kahurangi
Ki te tūohu koe, me he maunga teitei”
“Pursue excellence – should you stumble,
let it be to a lofty mountain”
The above Maori proverb is an apt introduction to one day guided walk on the Tongariro Alpine Crossing
The crossing passes over the volcanic terrain of the multi-cratered active volcano Mt Tongariro, passing the eastern base of Mt Ngauruhoe
The 19.4 km walk is renowned for its barren yet beautiful "moon like" volcanic landscape, unusual geological features, visible volcanic activity and views of the surrounding countryside below.
