Orphans Aid’s Fundraising Trek in 2019 was up Mount Kilimanjaro, 2020 was Stewart Island’s / Rakiura’s Great Walk, and this year it is the awe-inspiring Tongariro Crossing!

This November, we will trek across New Zealand's oldest national park and dual World Heritage Area; through a volcanic alpine landscape showcasing steaming vents, glacial valleys, old lava flows, alpine vegetation and vivid crater lakes. You will be rewarded with breathtaking vistas of Mount Tongariro and Mount Ngauruhoe, and unparalleled views of the North Island.

Join a group of like-minded climbers with Pam, one of our Mt Kilimanjaro climbers and experienced Tongariro Crossing trekker, to complete the one-day crossing for Orphans Aid International, helping raise funds for emergency needs.
