Frequently Asked Questions About One-Way Shuttles to Tongariro Crossing
The Tongariro Crossing is a point-to-point hike rather than a loop, and the car parks at both ends have strict time limits. Using our one-way Tongariro shuttle is a practical way to manage logistics without having to double back or risk exceeding the parking time limits.
When you book our one-way shuttle to Tongariro Crossing, you can park at a secure Ketetahi car park on State Highway 46 at Lake Rotoaira and check in with our staff 15 minutes before departing to the trailhead.
For the shuttle journey, you need only yourself, your gear, and an adventurous spirit. Our shuttle has plenty of space to store your equipment during transit.
