The whole team were excellent. From my first email to being dropped off at the start of the track was just spot on. Especially as I was doing the trip solo I felt safe and relaxed because I knew what to expect. Email booking was fast and efficient, info on the bus was great. And I loved the map. Check out their video and be a Jill!! 🤩 Thank you and I can’t wait to go again

Great service. Easy to deal with, and great communication from the business. Very friendly staff. And they give very good information about the track and make it easy to change plans if plans need to change.
Please do yourself a favor a book a different tour operator...

Overpriced ~60 NZD for a one-way transfer (20 min ride) from the destination to the start for the Tongariro Crossing trail; The bus is quite uncomfortable and the driver was very slow in the sealed road, but very fast in the gravel road (it supposed to be 40 km/hr but the driver was speeding, which made me feeling unsafe). The information provided via email is also misleading: if you book the 8:00 AM trip, the email instructions tells that you need to check-in 30 minutes prior, however, the shuttle/driver doesn't arrive until the exact time of departure. I will recommended not using this service and planning to do a work around with other hikers. Edit response below after response from the tour operator: Thank you for your response. While I appreciate the opportunity to address my concerns, your reply lacks professionalism and doesn’t address the core issues raised. First, I request a detailed breakdown of the shuttle cost versus the actual fees paid to DOC for maintenance. The cost of the shuttle appears to be exorbitant compared to industry standards, and I would like clarity on why this is the case. Regarding the speed, if the shuttle was truly monitored, I would appreciate documented proof of the recorded speed during my journey. My experience felt unsafe, particularly on the gravel roads. Your dismissive tone and attempt to undermine my review, along with a failure to address valid concerns, reflect poorly on your company. The lack of professionalism and basic customer service is concerning, especially when dealing with safety-related issues. I will be sharing this exchange with my network on my social media and with all people I meet in NZ, as transparency and honesty are important when choosing tour operators. I trust you will reconsider your approach to customer feedback in the future. Btw asking people to provide feedback on Google or TripAdvisor only if is positive seems VERY PROFESSIONAL... "If your day went smoothly please consider giving some positive feedback on Google my business or Tripadvisor. If you have feedback to give us on how we can improve please email me directly"
Perfect way to get to the start of the Tongariro Crossing.

We could park the car easily on the side of the road as mentioned and our pick-up was right on time. We got a map and instructions from the driver. When you finish in your own time ( so you don't have to hurry!) you don't have to wait for a pick-up and can just drive off.
