Excellent service

Pickups at the hostel and at the finish worked really good, very friendly and professional drivers and we were even greeted with a popsicle at the finish! I can absolutely recommend the Tongariro Alpine Crossing but take your time at the first half of the hike as long as you're on the mountains, because the scenery doesn't get better than that!
