Incredible views, fun and short but still somewhat challenging hike (some of that was due to the windy conditions), really good guides.

I really enjoyed walking/sliding down the mountain and seeing all the different views from the top of the mountain!

Parts of this walk looked a bit daunting to some in the group. The guides, who had a wonderful sense of humour, were excellent at encouraging and supporting them - everyone completed the walk, no problems. This was a marvellous experience on a day when you could see clearly to Ruapehu and White Island. Awesome!

If you're looking for something unique to do in the beautiful Rotorua area, I would recommend this! You can only make your way up Tarawera with the permission of the local hapū who work alongside Kaitiaki Adventures. Money from doing this also goes back to the local hapū as well as conservation projects for maintaining Tarawera. The hike was only a couple of hours because we took our time and ate our lunch in the crater of the volcano once we had fun sliding down the scree. It was a totally manageable hike as well - enough to make you work up a sweat but not hard enough to be off putting. One of the women in our tour group was 70 year's old and led from the front with our awesome guide, Jack, who not only knew where all the good photo/video spots were but who educated us along the way by sharing significant facts re: the volcano, the area as well as local peoples and their histories etc: again, if you're looking for something unique to do in the beautiful Rotorua area, I would most definitely recommend this!
