Tongariro Alpine Crossing Shuttle Service

The Tongariro Alpine Crossing, a World Heritage Site, is one of New Zealand's best day hikes, featuring vibrant emerald lakes, rugged volcanic terrain, and breathtaking scenery. Since 1998, we have been a locally owned family business operating the longest-running shuttle service in the area. With extensive knowledge of Tongariro National Park and the Central Plateau, our experienced shuttle operators are dedicated to creating a safe and positive experience for all travellers tackling this epic trek.

One-Way and Return Shuttle Services

We offer four daily shuttle services with various pick-up points, ensuring there’s an option that suits you and your travel preferences when visiting the Tongariro Alpine Crossing.

You can choose our popular Tongariro Park and Ride Shuttle, which picks you up from either the Tongariro or Ketetahi Carpark and drops you at the start of the trail at Mangatepopo Carpark. This shuttle option provides the flexibility to explore this iconic track at your own pace and return to your car after a rewarding day of hiking.

For those looking for the convenience of a round-trip shuttle, consider our return transport services, including the Taupo Return Shuttle, Turangi Return Shuttle, and Tongariro Holiday Park Return Shuttle. You are collected from your accommodation, by prior arrangement, hop on board and enjoy the ride to the trailhead. After a day filled with adventure, you will be met by Tongariro Expeditions at Ketetahi mid-afternoon and unwind as we take you back to your drop-off point.

We have great pricing when travelling solo, and offer discounts for families and group transport .

Easy, Safe and Reliable Transport

As a Qualmark Silver accredited business, our Team will offer expert local knowledge and friendly service, and our regularly maintained buses ensure a safe, smooth and stress-free journey to and from the trail.

If the crossing cannot be completed due to unsafe weather, we will offer to transfer your booking to another date or cancel it for a refund.
