Overview

The Tongariro Alpine Crossing is one of New Zealand’s best day walks, but not everyone has the time or ability to complete the full walk. Ideal for travellers short on time, this morning half-day guided walk gives you a taste of some of the park’s most impressive features without the full physical challenge. Hike to the Soda Springs waterfall and admire the stark volcanic landscape along the way.

Upgrade to the full-day walk if conditions and physical capabilities allow
Hike confidently with a professional guide and all necessary gear
