Overview

National Park Shuttles is the only Tangata Whenua (local people) operator from the National Park Village, offering a fantastic transport journey departing from the ONLY all-day secure carpark with a one-way transport shuttle service to the Tongariro Alpine Crossing.

We transfer you from the private car park to the beginning of the trek (Mangatepopo). You can hike as fast or as slowly as you like.

We give the same advice and safety brief, as we do with our returning shuttles. We do account for you if you have not returned to your vehicle.

No waiting hours for a shuttle at the finish if you're fast. No running for your shuttle if you're slow. At the end of the trek, you will arrive at the 4-hour Ketetahi car park. You will walk another 900 meters from there, back to where your car is parked.

Rest assured that no one is ever left behind!

They'll get you there, just jump on the bus that suits you.

Mostly works as advertised. The only hiccup was that I was told to be there at 6:45 and that the bus would leave at 7. I was waiting there at 6:45 and the bus got full and left. Of course, another bus came at 7 to take us, but I didn't know that... Thought they just left us because it was full. So I called and the conversation was... difficult. Lots of confusion, "who are you, where are you, why aren't you on the bus, etc". So, keep in mind they run multiple buses for an hour, you can just get in whichever one that arrives. No one checks who is who.
