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!

Please meet us at The only one-way PRIVATE car park across from the Ketetahi Track entrance. Pick-up is in the ONLY secure off-road car park located opposite the end of the hike at Ketetahi on Highway 46. Please tell us your pick-up time, 7 am, or 8 am. You must arrive at least 15 minutes early, so you don't miss the shuttle. Times are subject to change due to availability. If travelling from Taupo Turangi make sure to take HWY 1 and turn onto HWY46 (National Park). It will take 20 minutes approximately to get to the car park. The actual sign is on the left side of the road and says 'TONGARIRO SHUTTLE CAR PARK'. If travelling from National Park Village take HWY 47, travel that road for approximately 25 to 30 minutes then turn right onto HWY 46 (Rangipo). It will take 10 minutes approximately to get to the car park from there. It's 400 meters from the Ketetahi track entrance (don't go down that road). The car park staff will be inside the car park to check you in. Show your confirmation.

Fantastic service, informative and reliable with excellent site location and drop off instructions which were easy to follow. All staff were super friendly and positive - even at 6am! We felt secure leaving our car in the carpark with a staff member watching for the day. It was a 1km flat walk down to the carpark from the finish which wasn’t too painful. Highly recommend!

Straightforward pick up at private secure car parking area. The shuttle buses arrive approximately 5 mins apart so a bit of a bun fight to get on them but everyone was respectful and polite. The driver we had was a local guy with a lot of knowledge and passion for the area. Very entertaining too. He did a Māori blessing before we set off to keep us safe on the crossing. Highly recommend.

Wow such a beautiful hike one of my favourite day hikes i've ever done for sure! I highly recommend booking through national park shuttles, and doing the full hike. Doug our driver was kind, lovely and full of knowledge. being apart of the Maori tribe associated with Tongariro National Park (Ngāti Tuwharetoa) he had a deep understanding and connection to the land which was past on to hikers on the bus ride to the start. It gets busy and they'll be a lot people on the hike! having a service like this preserves the cultural identity and ensures preservation of this beautiful land. A+++++
