This service is great as we pick you up from the quaint town of Turangi. 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 Turangi info centre on Ngawaka Place.
We pick up at 6:00am. (On the booking form it will say 5:15am, however that is the start time of the bus that first picks up in Taupo) This gets you to Mangatepopo by 7am. Our Tongariro shuttle service allows for up to 8 hours to complete the track. It takes most people between 6-8 hours. Most people are off by 2:30pm
We have multiple departures between 2:30-3pm. You must be off the track by 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 Turangi between 3-3:30pm.
Being in Turangi you could go and soak in the Tokaanu Hot Springs then you could kick back and enjoy a picnic dinner by the riverside to relax and unwind.
On time, very efficient and excellent bus driver who gave succinct instructions and tips, would definitely recommend!

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