Parks & Nature
Let us organise your shuttle from Ketetahi Carpark to the start of the Tongariro Crossing. This is the easiest and most relaxed way of completing the Tongariro Crossing. Allow 1 hour from our property to drive, park and locate the shuttle bus. Departures are normally 6.30, 7.30 or 8.30 am to make the best of the day. You can walk at your own pace knowing that your car is waiting at the end, so need pressure of having to catch a bus at the end. We use Tongariro Expeditions as the shuttle service, so you can make your booking if you like.
