WE COMPLETED THE TONGARIRO ALPINE CROSSING! 👏👏👏

Without a doubt, this was the biggest challenge we did in New Zealand. 🥵 We have completed lots of smaller hikes but never really did a longer track. Well, here we were!

The Tongariro Alpine Crossing is a 19.4 km long hike (😱), which leads through a unique landscape with three active volcanoes. 🌋 The most popular one is (of course) Mount Ngauruhoe (better known as Mount Doom of The Lord of the Rings). From the beginning of the track until you reach the summit we had a fantastic view of this perfect cone. 👌

Having made it to the summit we were greeted by the wonderful Emerald Lakes. These lakes are just incredibles - such unique colours! 😍 We also came by the Blue Lake which was also one of the highlights. What followed was a looooong descent until we completed the whole trail.

Over all this was a fantastic experience and we can just highly recommend it! 🤩
