Booked for a family of five on the 6.30am shuttle. One of our group was injured prior, so his ticket was cancelled/refunded. When we arrived we found that ALL our tickets had been cancelled, AND we were parked in the wrong place, because Tongariro Expeditions sends different parking instructions out two days before your trek (the parking instructions you receive in your confirmation email are wrong). The morning shuttle driver was really awesome, reassuring us that it would be sorted, and getting us on the shuttle so we didn't miss the trek. Afternoon shuttle driver also let us on the shuttle but tried to give me a hard time about 'not following instructions' because of where we were parked. I emailed to tell them they'd cancelled our tickets incorrectly. They were completely unapologetic, blamed 'the system' - phrased it as a question, as though I was supposed to work it out for them. So five stars for the morning shuttle driver, three stars for the afternoon shuttle driver, and zero stars for the admin. I wouldn't book with them again.

We booked online to park at the end of the trail and have the shuttle take us to the start of the trail. Everything went smoothly. Instructions emailed to us the day before were accurate. Staff very friendly. The pickup at the end of the trail is great because they run a bus back to your car every ten minutes. I gave 4 stars instead of 5 because some of the info is inaccurate and this caused me some confusion and caused other people to miss their shuttle in the morning. The confirmation email provides a “pickup” location. This is not the location where you are picked up in the morning - this is place you will be picked up at the end of the hike. A second email the day before the hike tells you where to park in the morning - so make sure you check that email and don’t rely on the confirmation email.

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

This company called late in day the day before and just canceled our booking because they did not have enough people leaving us to scramble to find another company

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.
