COVID-19 Plan

With New Zealand still relatively quiet by pre-Covid tourism standards, there couldn’t be a better time to do the Tongariro Crossing!  

While lockdowns are behind us and Covid is less prevalent in our communities, Tongariro Expeditions’ Covid-19 measures are in place to keep all our guests as safe and healthy as possible.  

Your safety is our priority, which is why we have implemented the following measures: 

• Contactless check in 
• Online bookings  
• Smaller buses 
• Offering the Ketetahi one way shuttle (minimal time together on a single bus and no requirement for a bus in the afternoon) 

 
Please remember not to travel if you’re feeling unwell. All Tongariro Expeditions tickets purchased are fully refundable or transferrable due to cancelations because of Covid-19, the weather or low visitor numbers. 

Mask wearing is no longer compulsory in New Zealand. Please feel free to wear them or not, whatever makes you feel comfortable! 

We appreciate your patience and flexibility during this time and look forward to seeing you out there enjoying our epic backyard.
