We took the TranzAlpine Express halfway to Aruthur's Pass! At the Pass we did two hikes, The Devil's Punch Bowl and The Bridal Path. The Devil's Punch Bowl is hard but beautiful!

After the two hikes you can having a late lunch in town and then keep warm in the local museum until the train comes back!

We drove from the caves to Tongariro National Park and stayed at Bayview Chateau Tongariro! A great hotel that is located at the base of the mountains!

We did the 7 hour hike, Tongariro Crossing. http://nationalpark.co.nz/pages/tongarir…

Work with the hotel to set up transport to the beginning of the crossing. Bring plenty of water and food since you cannot get any on the hike.
