Super Unternehmen!

Unsere Gruppe ist versehentlich 15 Minuten nach Abfahrt gekommen und der Bus ist extra nochmal zurück gefahren und hat nach uns gesucht, um uns mitzunehmen und auf dem Rückweg nimmt der Bus einen sogar nach der letzten Abfahrtszeit noch mit und holt sogar vom Start Leute ab, die aufgegeben haben. Das gesamte Team ist durchweg freundlich und das Unternehmen ist wirklich super.

Freundlich, schnell, flexibel

Der Shuttle Service ist super praktisch, da man sonst schlecht von einem Ende zum anderen kommt. Der Preis vielleicht für eine so kurze Busfahrt relativ hoch, aber es lohnt sich. Wir hatten einen sehr netten Fahrer.

Thank you for your feedback. All shuttle services are the same price. 1 hour round trip to and from the start & finish of the Famous Tongariro Alpine Crossing

Shuttle Service super!

Der Shuttle Service war pünktlich und nett. Es gab auch bei der Ankunft kurz Informationen zum Track und Wetter. Wir hatten das Glück, dass sogar ein Shuttle um 12:30 Uhr wieder zurück gefahren ist, so mussten wir nur eine Stunde warten (4:40 Stunden für den Track 19,4 kn gebraucht). Der Track war leider neblig, komplett ohne Aussicht auf die Krater und sonstiges oben, also die Atmosphäre lohnt sich hier leider nicht wirklich. An sich sehr abenteuerlich, wer keine Aussicht braucht und einfach abenteuerlich laufen will kann ihn auch bei schlechtem Wetter machen, ansonsten auf gutes Wetter warten! Habe nicht wirklich etwas aus Herr der Ringe erkannt wegen dem doofen Nebel, echt schade!
