Description
Hours:
We are an outdoor adventure guiding company, based out of Taupo and Ruapehu located in the centre of the North Island. We specialize in trekking, hiking and canoeing adventures throughout the Whanganui and Tongariro National Parks, including New Zealand’s best day one-day walk, The Tongariro Alpine Crossing.
The Tongariro National Park has UNESCO Dual World Heritage status - globally recognised for both its cultural and natural significance and is also New Zealand’s oldest national park. It is an active and living landscape and the recent events have left more exciting active features for people to view, film and photograph.
We operate all year, summer and winter and whether you’re a novice or keen adventurer we have a tour to suit. We cater for local and international individuals, large groups, family groups and school groups. If time is limited or you are unable to spend the whole day walking the Tongariro Crossing, then the Half Day or 2 hour Pre Sunset Guided Walk is for you. Those looking for a challenge? Make sure you tick Mt Ruapehu Summit Plateau off your list.
Professionally we have had 25 years of experience and personally far more with qualified instructors. Adrift is qualified and is registered with NZ Worksafe DoC Qualmak and has yearly 3rd party external safety audits. Our guides will ensure your safety whilst explaining the geography, history, culture and flora and fauna of the Tongariro and Whanganui National Parks, and New Zealand.
We guide every day with wind, rain, snow and even brilliant sunshine. All tours depart from the Adrift Tongariro base, 53 Carroll St, National Park Village. Our base - on the border of both National Parks, has its own shop, bathrooms and retail
