★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Awesome experience visiting Tongariro. We did not end up doing full hike but we saw some great things even just a short walk from the car park. Must see for LOTR or The Hobbit fans. There are huts every so often you can stop at to sit. Not a lot of spots to park so it might fill up fast some days.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Pretty nice and difficult walk, 19 Km which tracks mostly consisting of gravel pathways.
Would definitely recommend having some good/moderate fitness level with the right equipment. We had 2 bottles of water (1.5L) and that Just got us to the end.
Went on a really nice day, didn't need a jacket or anything since it was hot but still had it just in case.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Closest landscape I’ll get to Mars in New Zealand. Amazing scenery and views throughout the walk. Give it a whole day to take time to capture all the sights. Bring plenty of water and appropriate clothing. There were tourists in jeans and Jandals when we did it and apart from looking like muppets they struggled. Keep an eye on volcanic activity too. Just in case. Only downside for me was the thousands of others doing this the same day. Quota system would be good or alternatively to beat the crowds do a guided tour out of season.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is a great day walk. Prepare well by getting your fitness levels up in advance, as you'll be on your feet for between 6-8 hours. You'll enjoy the experience far more if you're not gasping for air after the devil's staircase.
The landscape, views and scenery are spectacular, it has to be one of the walks for all kiwis or anyone visiting from overseas.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Did the walk yesterday with gorgeous weather, Mt. Taranaki could be seen along the way. Absolute stunning and unique volcanic landscape. Strongly recommend. Some level of fitness would be required as well as loads of water, check the weather before you go as up there it could be changeable and could be quite windy. Safety first folks!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A unique experience hiking amongst active volcanoes in what seems like another planet. Start early (7-8am) to avoid the crowds and heat, and take 2 litres of water. Start from the Mangatepopo Rd end. Allow 5-7 hrs to complete the 19.5km. The weather can change quickly and its always 5-15 degrees c. cooler at the top and usually windy.
