Adventure Q shuttle
Friendly staff and great service. Very efficient transport to and back from Tongariro Alpine Crossing. Helpful staff, especially in regards to directions and hiring gear for the hike. Overall a great experience.

Awesome day!
The shuttle came on time in the morning and I was picked up at the end of the day when the first shuttle was full at around 3pm. We also got a popsicle which was more than welcome after a hot day. The driver was really nice and the weather was great for hiking. All in all, a perfect day! The only thing I regret is that I didn't think to download some Lord of the Rings soundtrack to listen to while hiking 😆

Good trip:)
I don't have a car and that's why I used this service, but even if I had a car, I would use this service because that start of Tongariro alpine crossing is different with the end. The staffs of this service were quite nice people:) they expained about that course, and you can borrow the boots or poles for free if you need. After it,they provided ice creams☺ that was good ending of my day haha Tongariro is not too difficult but still not easy too. Especially when I went there, there was so strong wind. That's very dangerous, I concerned to going back down seriously but that was also difficult tobme so I decided to just go forward to survive. If you think it is too dangerous to keep going, just give up. That doesn't mean that you are a coward or so weak. Safety is the most important.

What a nice review - thanks Hazel - and you are quite right about making the right decision to go or turn back. There is no shame in going back. Great photo too!

Great experience
Great Experience on Tongariro Alpine crossing and we even have the sun all day long. The shuttle was really punctual and they provide complementary equipments (jacket etc) to the ones who need it. Really kind people !

Highly recommend!
Excellent service! Picked up and dropped off right from my accommodation in Taupo. Drivers were friendly, well-informed, and got everyone to and from the crossing safely. My morning driver had everyone excited to hit the track, and my driver on the way back gave us surprise victory popsicles! Vehicles were well maintained with good heating/AC. Highly recommend Adventure HQ if you're looking to do the Tongariro Alpine Crossing.
