Tongariro Alpine Crossing Guide - North Island of NZ

Image
Time: 7-8 hours Cost: ~$30 per person for the shuttle or just drop your party off and only send one person on the shuttle to save money Skill: You don't need to be particularly skilled in any way just be able to walk the whole day and go up and down a steep elevation. What to Bring:  The peak elevation of this hike is very windy and cold even in the middle of summer so pack some warm clothes -Multiple bottles of water -Snack and possibly lunch -Some toilet paper (the portapotties along the way don't always have it) -Hat -Light jacket -Hiking boots The Hike: Please note this is a one-way hike, not a loop. You will need to start at a certain end of the trail so you don't make the mistake we made. You will need to park your car at the end of the trail then take a shuttle to the beginning. The majority of shuttles only run in the morning not in the evening so there will be no one to pick you up if you start at the wrong end. The Mangatepopo road is the end whe...

The Best Cheap Campgrounds in New Zealand's North Island

Image
The campgrounds are definitely more expensive in the north island than the ones on the south island. Being the broke college students we are, we were not planning on spending over $20 per person for a campground. Here are my top 4 cheap campgrounds around the north island: 4.)  Rarawa Beach Campsite Cost:   This is a doc owned campsite that costs $13 per night per person. Where: This site is located in the middle of the northern peninsula. It's a great halfway point on the way to or from Cape Reinga.  About: The best part of the campsite, by its name, is the white sand Rarawa beach which is a 2-minute walk from your camper. It's sad that you can't see it from your campsite but you can easily walk over to watch the sunrise. There are also plenty of flushable toilets with toilet paper which is a bonus and an outside cold shower.

Bruce Peninsula / Tobermory Guide - Ontario, CA

Image
The Grotto Things I Wish I Knew Before Going: There are so many amazing things to do on Bruce's Penninsula. I could spend a week here and not get bored. If I could go back, I would camp in Bruce Peninsula National park instead of a nearby private campground. Be aware of parking that needs to be reserved at Bruce's Peninsula which will be explained later. Time:  3 Days Cost: ~$30   for parking/admission fees ~$40 for Flowerpot Island Boat Things to Do: 1.) Big Tub Harbour Shipwreck Located right off of the Tobermory visitor center is Big Tub Harbour Shipwreck. There are many other shipwrecks in this area can be accessed through cruises or viewed from the harbor. Options are available for diving and snorkeling as well! 2.) The Grotto The Grotto is truly one of the most fun places I have been in my life. The water is cold initially (yes, even in the summer) but you get used to it quickly. There are a bunch of "cliffs" to jump off of from various heights b...
