Thanks Mahalee Guieysse for joining us on a guided Tongariro Alpine Crossing walk!

"It’s a mind boggling, jaw dropping kind of day but with the added comfort and confidence of having your own guide for safety and peace of mind so you can truly soak up the splendour of NZ’s oldest national park. No wonder it’s classed as a UNESCO Dual World Heritage Site of cultural and natural significance ..."
