点评:We are travelling around New Zealand without a car and I had a wish of visiting Tongariro National Park but without doing the Tongariro Crossing(!) as I had my mom along with me on this trip. I finally found Steve through some internet digging earlier this year, reached out and we settled on a day and time. We so appreciate that he was willing to drive to Taupō to pick us up, give us a sightseeing tour of the park, and drive us back again. I found the price very reasonable and comparable in terms of hours and service. Despite us both having had an eye on the weather, we were experiencing some rain and cloud cover. So we couldn’t see Ngauruhoe (Mount Doom) but that can’t be helped! We still had a great day and we got to see some great LOTR sights, walk to Meads Wall at Ruapehu, Tawhai Falls (Gollums Pool), visit the visitors centre etc. Steve was also great at telling us about the geological features, the plants and made photo stop at a good view of Lake Taupō. We are very happy with the day!
翻译:我们在新西兰自由行,没有开车。我本来想去汤加里罗国家公园,但不想走汤加里罗穿越路线(!),因为这次旅行我妈妈也陪着我。今年早些时候,我终于在网上搜索到史蒂夫,联系了他,我们约定了日期和时间。他愿意开车去陶波接我们,带我们游览公园,然后再开车送我们回来,我们非常感激。我觉得价格很合理,而且时间和服务都差不多。虽然我们俩都留意了天气,但那天还是下了雨,还阴了点。所以我们没能看到瑙鲁霍伊(末日火山),不过也没办法!我们仍然度过了美好的一天,欣赏了一些《指环王》里的精彩景点,步行去了鲁阿佩胡的米兹墙(Meads Wall)、塔怀瀑布(咕噜姆斯池),参观了游客中心等等。史蒂夫还很热情地向我们介绍了当地的地质特征和植物,还在陶波湖的美景处停下来拍照。这一天我们非常开心!
