The greatest day hike of New Zealand. Stunning volcanic scenery.
The Tongariro Alpine Crossing is one of the best day hikes New Zealand has to offer. You will see a stunning active volcanic landscape, turquoise lakes and amazing views. Be aware that you need to book a shuttle bus or any transportation as the starting point and ending point of this hike differs. We were happy with Dempsey Buses.
Expect to walk approx. 19,4km (12 miles), so it is not an easy hike, but doable. Usually it takes 6-9 hours. If you are a Lord of the Rings fan: On this hike you are passing Mount Doom.
