Tongariro Crossing Park & Ride Ketetahi | Shaara Deals
One way transport from the Ketetahi end of the Tongariro Alpine Crossing back to your parked car, on State Highway 46, on Shaara Deals from $65.
Not every Tongariro Alpine Crossing hiker wants to leave their car behind and rely on a return shuttle from National Park Village. Some would rather drive to the Ketetahi end themselves and get a one-way lift back to where they parked. That's exactly what this Park & Ride service is built for.
The process is straightforward: you drive to and park at the Tongariro Crossing Park & Ride (Ketetahi), located on State Highway 46. Simply follow the signs to the car park, park your car, then check in with the team there before your one-way transport to the Ketetahi end of the crossing.
Timing your check-in
One detail worth reading carefully: check-in time is 15 minutes prior to your departure time. So if you book a 6:30am, 7:30am or 8:30am departure, your listed arrival time will actually show as 6am, 7am or 8am respectively. That earlier time is when you need to be there, not when the transport leaves.
Who this suits
This is a one-way service, so it works best as part of a plan where you've already sorted the other leg of your Tongariro Alpine Crossing logistics, whether that's a friend picking you up, another shuttle service, or simply choosing to start rather than finish at Ketetahi. If you'd prefer a single service that handles the return journey from National Park Village at both ends of the day, Shaara Deals also has the Tongariro Alpine Crossing return shuttle with Tongariro Crossing Shuttles.
