This service is great as we pick you up from the beautiful town of Taupo. If you are staying central we can pick you up from your accommodation. If you are staying out of our pick up area we can meet you at the Taupo isite on Tongariro St.
The Tongariro Crossing shuttle from Taupo takes 1h 22 minutes. We pick up at 5:15am. This gets you to Mangatepopo by 7am. This service allows for up to 8 hours to complete the track. It takes most people between 6-8 hours and most people are off by 2:30pm.
Pick up and departure time for the return journey in the afternoon is 3:00pm. However, if everyone has finished the track and checked in early, the shuttle back to Taupo will leave early too. You must be off the track before 3pm. If you are worried about not making it back in time you may like to consider doing the Ketetahi Park N Ride option.
We then get you back to Taupo by 4:30pm.
Being in Taupo means you can then enjoy a hot soak, your choice of a wide range of places to enjoy dinner or a drink as you watch the sun set over the mountain you just climbed.
Yes! This service is used by those wanting to access the Tongariro Northern Circuit. It is important to talk to us before arranging this as there is a lot of logistics required with hut bookings, weather and timings. Please email us for advice before you book your huts.
Very efficient, helpful and comfortable!
