Amazing

Départ au kiwi camp à côté de la gare et retour à la fin du Tongariro Crossing. On peut rentrer avec la navette de l'horaire que l'on veut suivant notre rythme de marche. 1h30 pm pour les sportifs jusqu'à 5h30 pm pour ceux qui veulent prendre le temps et faire des pauses.

Thank you for your nice review. I like 1.30 pm is for athletes and 5.30 pm for those who like to take their time.

Sérieux et efficace

Le shuttle nous a pris et déposé devant notre logement c est très pratique . Les horaires annoncés ont été parfaitement respectés à l aller comme au retour . Les conseils donnés pour la randonnée étaient très précis. Tout cela a contribué à une belle journée de rando.

À faire

Parce qu’on est en NZ et que les paysages y sont particulièrement beaux et inhabituels. Après, y’a quand même 7 kms de descente en plein soleil où il ne se passe rien à part mettre à l’épreuve les genoux et 3 kms de forêt qui te réconcilient avec la nature. Dommage qu’il n’y ait pas eu de remboursement de transport pour ma fille qui était malade alors que j’ai prévenu à l’avance…
