Tongariro Crossing Shuttles, Made Simple

Operating since 1998, Tongariro Expeditions is the region's longest-running Tongariro Crossing shuttle operator.


How our Alpine Crossing shuttles work

Start your Tongariro Alpine Crossing with a reliable, locally operated shuttle. Park at the Tongariro Park & Ride or Ketetahi Car Park (depending on the season) and take our one-way shuttle to the Mangatepopo trailhead, or join us from Taupō, Tūrangi or Tongariro Holiday Park for a return trip. Either way, our expert drivers will drop you at the start of the track with a trail map and local knowledge, so you're ready to take on the 20.2km of New Zealand’s best day hike.
