Volcano Walks New Zealand
Generally, different zones offer distinctly different aspects for interested groups to experience.

Climbing on the volcano Tongariro Crossing

KANES  support walks as these give you the opportunity to best connect with the environmental features of interest.  

Tongariro National Park
Found in the North Island's Volcano Zone fit and experiences walkers can explore the  craters and large expanses of andesitic deposits. You can actually feel the life in the resting giants the Maori people describe in their legends. (Allow a full day)

Shield Volcano and lava cave
After a 30 min boat ride from Auckland's CBD in the North Island's Main Population Zone   the trail leads us through large areas of basaltic flows and to the crater itself. There are great city and harbour views to enjoy along the way.  (Allow 6 hours)
