Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need alpine experience?
No, you don't need alpine experience or skills whatsoever for this adventure. Your friendly professional guide will show you the way.
What if the weather is bad?
If the guiding company cancels due to bad weather or other unforeseen circumstances, we will refund you the guided portion of the package.
If the weather is marginal you will be given expert local advice before departure. You can then make an informed decision to join the tour, cancel or postpone to another day. If you choose to cancel before departure we will refund you the guided portion of the package.
If you join a tour and the weather changes for the worse, or becomes unsafe the guide will return the group back to the start. Please understand no portion of a refund is given in this situation. However, the guiding company will offer you a reduced rate for a future adventure with them, because they're good sorts : )
You can also change dates to suit the weather.
What happens if I need to cancel?
If you cancel 2 days prior to your arrival date (as per accommodation booking cancellation policy) your deposit will be refunded in full.
What level of fitness do I need?
The Tongariro Alpine Crossing is around 20km. Much of it is covered in snow during the winter months. Walking over snow can be physically demanding. Therefore you do need a good level of fitness.
What does the package include?
The package is priced for two people and includes:
Accommodation for two nights
Guided tour of the Tongariro Alpine Crossing
Shuttle to and from the Crossing
Alpine hire gear required ie crampons, ice axe, helmet, jacket
Winter alpine clothing if needed
Packed lunch for the hike

Can I change the package?
Yes, we can be fairly flexible with your package. However if the package changes substantially, discounted portions of the package will be calculated at the full rate.
Feel at ease knowing you'll be looked after by one of NZ's most professional alpine guiding companies.

"Service by the lodge staff was top notch. They looked after us extremely well and helped us out with their local knowledge and connections.
Great location - in between National Park and Whakapapa Village - only minutes from either key locations.
Overall, the great care by the staff, the great location, the clean warm room, made our stay very pleasant. Definitely one of our best experiences in New Zealand or anywhere for that matter.”
