13 Reasons Why You Need to Visit New Zealand in 2025

"Considered the best day hike in New Zealand, the 19-kilometer Tongariro Alpine Crossing crosses otherworldly volcanic terrain—including the Mordor filming locations—and is a Great Walk that usually takes 6–8 hours. Parts of the route are easy while others are steep (especially after the section nicknamed “Mount Doom”), so bring water, sunscreen, a hat, toilet paper, and a sweater/jacket because the weather changes quickly; expect to pay about 60 NZD for a round-trip shuttle (reserve in advance) or ~395 NZD for a full-day guided hike." - Matthew Kepnes
