National Park Shuttles is the sole Manawhenua operator based in Waimarino, providing reliable transport services from the only secure parking facility conveniently located on State Highway 46 at the Ketetahi track road end. We offer a stress-free experience by allowing you to park safely before embarking on your journey.
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.
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.

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.

The bus ride itself and directions were very clear and timely. Our experience on the actual hike was sub par because of weather but that isn’t impacting the review here.

The bus was extremely old and uncomfortable. The driver was nice but couldn't be heard in the back. In addition, for the money you paid for it would not have looked out of place that you were taken from the end of the walk back to the parking lot. Now another mile was added along a dusty road.

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!

Great driver, friendly and informative. When we had to turn back due to 110 km winds at top, driver came back and picked us up, extremely nice of him.

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.

Super easy & it was great not having to worry about making it back on time for a shuttle busy. People were all great. Hike was well worth the challenge!

We messaged last minute and Terri replied promptly and organised for us to be able to take the 7am shuttle. The car park staff on arrival were friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend!
