Wow! Tongariro! - The shuttle was well organised and on time. The guide briefing was useful. The walk itself, whilst challenging, was a tremendously rewarding experience.

Do this hike! - Fabulous hike. So nice to be picked up at our car and taken to the trailhead. Great support. Even though the weather was on and off, still amazing experience.

Fantastic - We got lost to the shuttle location. We arrived within a few minutes to spare. The shuttle driver was waiting in the street for us

Tongariro Expeditions - a good shuttle company - The “Tongariro Expeditions” shuttle was on time, the pickup point is very easy to find and there was a lot of space to park (maybe not a busy day). The Tongariro Crossing track is an absolute must!!! Incredible experience. Physically challenging but absolutely doable and the sceneries up there are worth every effort and much more.

Excellent - The Alpine crossing is truly amazing, with the beautiful topography from a volcanic mountain to a tropical rainforest. It is a once in a lifetime experience and highly recommended The shuttle provided the transit to the starting point. Our cars were parked on 46, which is about a mile from the end of the hike.

Amazing but challenging hike. - The driver of shuttle was very kind and cautious. He checked on conditions before letting us leave the shuttle. Windy, foggy day with high winds at the top making it difficult to stand up. Couldn't see very far due to fog and steady light rain all day. Still an amazing hike through alpine and then rain forest.
