a 4-day hike 2 days along the lake and 1 day going up the bluff and 1 day going down the bluff, for persons with average physical condition it is a great joy! Great variation in views and nature. Doing this hike through walking legends will avoid that you have to carry to much yourself in your backpack and that... More

We walk every Anniversary Weekend and this is the best yet. The company tailored the walks to suit our group - some were carrying injuries so they did the short walks but were then taken fishing for trout and yes they caught one. The organisation was superb. Waikaremoana is an isolated spot but we were driven in in the company... More

Prompt pickup from accommodation in Rotorua followed by interesting drive to Lake Waikaremoana. Relatively easy four days of walking, excellent catering, adequate overnight accommodation in DOC huts. Walked with an interesting group of people and friendly, helpful young staff. Thoroughly recommended. More

Walked the Tongariro Crossing with Walking Legends Guides. Experienced the barren high volcanic landscape & NZ bush. Other walks around the area were well worthwhile. Guides were informative and well experienced. More

Did 4 day guided walk - Waikerimoana Discovery Tour. The walks were excellent. The guide was perfect. The food was fabulous. The stay in the lodge was a wonderful experience. Thank you to the people of Tuai who gave us such a great time! Felt that this was better value than the Waikerimoana Great Walk as we saw much more... More

The 4 day guided walk around Lake Waikaremoana over the Easter 2011 weekend exceeded our expectations. The Walking Legends guides did a fantastic job over the entire period. The scenery needs to be experienced to be believed - simply stunning! You walked at your own pace and met up with the rest of the group for the occasional lunch. At... More
