Very friendly service and very prompt on time. Further, the. driver went out of his way to give us a rundown of the track before we started. Would highly recommend

Great service, the website is easy to use and has all the information you need to do the walk.
The one way drop off is a good option, it takes you to the start of the crossing and you can do the 20km walk at your own pace and no need to wait at the other end.
The team met us at the car park and got us onto the bus, easy and on time.
Driver was awesome, lots of interesting information about the area and the crossing.
Would definitely recommend this as a very good transport option when doing the Tongariro crossing.

Excellent service - the bus was on time and it was a super comfortable ride up to the trailhead. Our driver gave us a nice overview of what to expect, how to time our walk to make sure we didn't miss the shuttles and how to be respectful of the land we were walking through.

Excellent service, definitely world class.
It was raining heavily the day before our walk so I called their office number and got a response even though it was well after hours (~7pm). Was informed that everything was all clear and that I can refer to DOC as that is where they get their information also.
Some members of our group found the walk quite difficult so we missed the last bus. They were kind enough to call and send us another shuttle and it turns out our driver lived next to our AirBnB. He kindly waived the call-out fee. Wouldn't expect the call-out fee to be waived everytime but definitely representative of their exceptional customer service.

Excellent communication from the begging to the last minute of the trip. Paul spend time talking us through history and the importance of the park for the Maori culture and, was flexible to make the best experience for everyone. It was a wholesome adventure, can't wait to come back ❤

More than just a lift to the start of the track. As well as providing us with all the information we could possibly need to enjoy our Tongariro crossing hike safely, Tracy was so welcoming and kind that we felt like whanau after just 30 minutes in her company. As a result, we set out in a positive frame of mind, and throughout the day kept tabs on our shuttle companions adding to our shared enjoyment of the experience. I booked last minute with National Park Shuttles after being let down by another company, and I feel lucky that I did. A great service from beginning to end.

They were really helpful when I phoned to book. Covered everything from weather to clothing and helped plan the best way for us to do the walk.

Very good service - saved me from having to navigate extremely busy car-park and using chains (which I've not done before). Nice driver and flexible pick-up times. Saved a lot of stress.
The only downside is the cost - $30 is fine if you're on your own, but with three of us (one being only 13 - considered an adult) suddenly you're looking at $90+, which is very expensive for a relatively short trip.
