Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Amazingly helpful and honest we are so grateful to Steve. We thought we needed a shuttle because day hikers are not allowed to park at whakapapa. He explained to us that since we were camping we actually are allowed to park. Saved us a lot of time and money. Thank you Steve!

I needed a ride to the airport. I was able to arrange this month in advance. The pick up was prompt, and the ride was enjoyable.

Exceptional service. 15 minutes before arrival my hotel dropped me and Steve made phone calls and drove me around until I found a place to stay. You’re in good hands with Steve.

We asked Steve for a trip around the mountains and he delivered an awesome ride. Knowledgeable, helpful, flexible and friendly he took us to places not on our to do list as well. Enjoyed the day immensely.

When our car needed to go to the mechanics he took me to Taupo to pick up a rental. Steve responded to my text message within 10 mins and was there to pick me up within 20. Highly recommend.

Great place to visit to feel how nature is pure, soft, and also strong at the same time. An amazing photography spot.

Thank you for your review of our service, and we appreciate the time taken to write the review.
To add a little clarity for those reading the review, this booking was made outside of our normal business hours. That being said, in all honesty we did forget to pick up the client at the arranged time. We have apologized off platform and have amended our policy to ensure that this doesn’t happen again.

Steve was very friendly and punctual. As well he was very knowledgeable on the area and gave us some great tidbits! He is also very responsive to requests. He responded to our request for a ride from Turangi to Whakapapa almost immediately after we sent the inquiry through the website.
Would highly recommend and will definitely look for Steve coming back to the area!
