Tongariro Alpine Crossing One Way Service

National Park Shuttles is the only Tangata Whenua (local people) operator from the National Park Village offering a fantastic on-route journey departing from the only secure car park located on State Highway 46, road end of the Ketetahi track.

Enjoy the convenience of driving your own car to the track end! You’ll have the freedom to head home as soon as you have finished your hike.  

Our one way shuttle service is a great option for those wanting extra time to soak up the views and naturally includes our 'Maori Cultural' blessings. With no set time schedule to meet, you are free to hike at your own pace, while knowing that your car is waiting for you at the finish. 

The Crossing is regarded in the top 10 one day hikes in the world and is considered New Zealand’s best! Traversing two active volcanoes, the Tongariro Alpine Crossing is situated in the world famous Tongariro National Park. A dual World Heritage Area.

When the weather is great, the track can get really hot, so sunblock is a must have. The weather however can be very changeable so dress accordingly and prepare for the worst. Make sure you pack some warm clothes and a waterproof jacket and if you are unsure of what you need in your backpack then have a look at what to take. Check out Mountain Forecast for the latest in weather news.

Preparation is key and a moderate degree of fitness is best. The Tongariro Alpine Crossing track is well marked and toilets are available enroute, but there is no fresh water available so take at least 1.5L per person. It is also important to take ALL of your rubbish out with you.
