One of Tongariro National Park’s best short walks, this easy 2 hour pre sunset guided walk to Taranaki Falls is a superb way to experience the Tongariro National Park and enjoy this stunning time of day.

Enjoy a glass of New Zealand wine while you take in the sights of the Taranaki Falls tumbling 20 metres over the edge of a large lava flow, which erupted from Ruapehu 15,000 years ago.

Thanks Mahalee Guieysse for joining us on a guided Tongariro Alpine Crossing walk!

"It’s a mind boggling, jaw dropping kind of day but with the added comfort and confidence of having your own guide for safety and peace of mind so you can truly soak up the splendour of NZ’s oldest national park. No wonder it’s classed as a UNESCO Dual World Heritage Site of cultural and natural significance ..."
