Tongariro Crossing Hike - Solo hiker - Please advise how to get from Taupo to Tongariro
Hello, all, I could really use your help. I am a low-to-mid-level solo hiker and will be in Taupo from April 9-11 without a car. I fly out on April 12. I am really hoping to go from Taupo to Tongariro and do a guided walk on April 10-11.
The problem is that the Taupo tour groups, Adventure Outdoors Tongariro and Tongariro Guided Walks, have all of early April blocked off. My only choice seems to be Adrift Tongariro, whose Taupo pick-up costs $650 and requires a drop-off at National Park. I can't seem to find a shuttle that goes all the way to the National Park at a reasonable rate. Unfortunately, although I have done a similar 8-hour hike with friends before, I am too inexperienced to manage it alone. I am at a loss for what to do. Any suggestions other than missing the Crossing or not staying in Taupo? I would prefer a guide, but I could likely manage it even without one, so long as it was with a group. I am not experienced enough to be comfortable hiking alone as a traveler.
