Hello We booked to do a walk called the Tongariro crossing which is a 19.4km walk through the four seasons, it involved walking up craters where the highest point is 1886 metres which is still an active and steaming vent. After we were blown away at the top we walked down the crater sweating buckets due to the heat from the volcano. Next we passed the blue lakes of emerald waters then down by the springs leading into a forest. It took us 6 hours to complete wher...

hello! This is where we walked on a glacier. It was really strange as the glacier was in the middle of the rainforest so the climate changed as we got on the glacier. We did a half day trek and had to wear these spikes on our shoes so we wouldnt slip on the ice.Even though it was tiring at times it was really fun and when we got to the top you could appreciate how big the glacier was as it looks tiny from the ground. The views of the valley were stunning at the ...
