BEST Schedule Around! Departing National Park Village, hike the Tongariro Alpine Crossing or Tongariro Northern Circuit or explore Whakapapa Village!
Tongariro National Park is one of the oldest National Parks in the world. It is a "Dual World Heritage Site", located in the Central North Island, in the Ruapheu district.
This amazing area has 3 active volcanoes and you get the chance to explore them by foot. There is an abundance of short walks, day hikes and multi-day hikes. The choice is yours to be as free as you like.
We are based in National Park Village overlooking our majestic volcanoes - Meaning we are super close! We have various departure times going to the Tongariro Crossing/ Tongariro Northern Circuit & Whakapapa Village.
No need to book a return time from the Tongariro Alpine Crossing. Just finish your hike and catch the next available bus back!
On time, efficient and helpful advice for the walk before we set off. We booked through book me and we're really lucky that the weather ended up being amazing.
Thank you for your message. Good to hear that you had a great time travelling with us and that the weather was amazing.
Great service, picked us up on time and collected at the end. Thank you for waiting for us! It took a bit Longer than we planned, and also thank you Anna (?) for dropping the glasses back to our accomodation that was left on the bus! Recommend first timers take the early shuttle to give yourself that extra hour!
I felt unwell during the Tongariro Crossing hike and had to return to the start. We called their phone to ask for transport back to the Village ..and got only voice mail. Then sent an email at 11am that got replied by midnight. We had to get 2 rides from good souls to get us back to parking to get our car. Don’t recommend as they really failed miserably and left us on our own.
Shuttles every hour and left no one behind
