A journey into the heart of Tongariro awaits, where adventure meets the wild. Think fresh air, new outdoor skills, and moments that push you just enough to feel alive. Wander across dramatic landscapes on the iconic crossing, soak in steaming hot pools under open skies, and chase the rush of powerful waterfalls. There’s even a stop for something a little unexpected along the way before the road leads back again, leaving you with stories, laughter, and just a hint of mystery. 

Rangers taking part in this adventure will need a good level of fitness and previous tramping experience. Girls should be comfortable walking in hiking boots and carrying a day pack of around 8kg, as the group will be completing the Tongariro Alpine Crossing - a roughly 20km day walk over uneven terrain that can take up to 8 hours.
