Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable, sharing many interesting Māori stories and cultural insights, which made the experience even more meaningful. Standing at the Rock of Remembrance also felt special, like leaving a small mark of my own on this mountain.
The 4WD ride up the volcano was another highlight and added to the adventure. I also met some amazing people along the way, which made the journey even more memorable.
Overall, it was a unique and unforgettable experience—highly recommended!
