Please join us at the exclusive one-way PRIVATE car park located across from the Ketetahi Track entrance.
Pick-up is available at the ONLY secure off-road car park situated opposite the hike’s end at Ketetahi on Highway 46. Kindly inform us of your pick-up time, either 7 am or 8 am. Ensure you arrive at least 15 minutes early to avoid missing the shuttle. Please note that times may change based on availability.
If you are traveling from Taupo Turangi, take HWY 1 and turn onto HWY 46 (National Park). The journey to the car park will take approximately 20 minutes. Look for the sign on the left side of the road that reads ‘TONGARIRO SHUTTLE CAR PARK’.
If you are coming from National Park Village, take HWY 47, travel for about 25 to 30 minutes, then turn right onto HWY 46 (Rangipo). From there, it will take approximately 10 minutes to reach the car park. It is 400 meters from the Ketetahi track entrance (do not proceed down that road).
Car park staff will be present inside the car park to check you in. Please present your confirmation.

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!
- For all ages 8+
- We do not transport children under the age of 8
