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!

What's Included

  • Car Park Security staff on site
  • Hassel FREE all-day park
  • Safety debriefing
