Discover your perfect way to travel to Tongariro National Park
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.
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 Ketetahi One-Way Shuttle Service, which picks you up from the Ketetahi Carpark and drops you at the start of the trail at Mangatepopo Car Park. 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 .
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.

Prompt transportation to trail head, great for slow hikers like me that cannot keep up with a group but can still do 13+ miles.
