5.00Pickup was exactly on time just before 5:30am. After a quick and informative overview of the hike, safety briefing, and Maori blessing by our driver and host, Brendan (great guy with an awesome sense of humor and local history/knowledge), I was on the trail by 6:20am. We were all back on the shuttle and heading home by just after 2pm with my cold drink from Brendan in hand! Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Oh, and the hike was amazing as well!
Beautiful!

5.00Simply perfect service and convenient. They tour the hotels in Turangi at dawn (~5:30am) to take you to the starting point (start 6:30am at the front!) of the hike and take you back to your hotel at the end of the hike (and if you are among the first arrivals, there is a first shuttle that leaves around 1pm).

5.00Had a great experience with Backyard Tours. The drivers were punctual and engaging – telling about the local history, culture, and geography. They also lended hiking poles for the walk. The complimentary drinks (soda/beer) at the end were a nice surprise. The pickup from Turangi was at 5.30 am, reached Mangatepopo car park at 6.30 am, and the return was scheduled at 2.30 pm from Ketetahi par park. As everyone completed the trek early, the shuttle left for Turangi at 2:00 pm.
Very professional,...

4.00When I booked the transfer/shuttle for the trailhead drop off and pick up, I didn't realize there is only one pick up time which was latest at 230pm. If I exceeded that schedule, there will be additional charge. I wish I could have one more hour to complete the trail. The rush did affected my full enjoyment of the hike. Other than that, we fully appreciate the transfer service provided by Brenden and his wife and their friendliness.
