The big hike

Due to time limit restrictions at the moment in the car parks, catching a shuttle is the only way to go if you plan to do this one and you don't have your own driver. The guys at National Park Shuttles have varied start times (go early if you are slow) and tend to run one pick up bus an hour from around 2 until 5:30 (i think) so you can jump on the next one when you get there. One of their drivers gave me some excellent advice on pacing goals along the way to keep me on track timewise. If you are going to do this walk, they are a great company to go with.

Quick and efficient

Great service with clear instructions on how to find the car park for the shuttle including photos. I also provided the wrong email address to receive the confirmation but the team quickly addressed this when I wrote to them. Shuttle transfer is about 30 mins from car park to the start of the walk.

Top Notch crowd :)

Picked up from my accomodation on time on time, not too many stops along the way so got onto the crossing relatively quickly. Friendly drivers. No hassles. Would recommend them if you are doing the crossing :)

Great transport option for the Tongariro Crossing

Great to deal with. Reliable service, good website, clear instructions, great staff. Massive advantage of being able to walk to our vehicle at the end of the walk so no time issues that you have with the other transport companies. Good to have secure parking, too.
