매우 만족스러운 여행이었습니다.

통가리로 알파인 크로싱을 완주한 후에 움직이기 힘들줄 알았지만, 전혀 움직이는데 지장 없었으며 내셔널파크에 2박을 예약한 것을 후회합니다. 누구나 뉴질랜드에 간다면 날씨가 좋을 경우에 한 번씩 체험하는 것을 추천합니다.

Easy and efficient

On time, efficient and helpful advice for the walk before we set off. We booked through book me and we're really lucky that the weather ended up being amazing.

Great service

Great service, picked us up on time and collected at the end. Thank you for waiting for us! It took a bit Longer than we planned, and also thank you Anna (?) for dropping the glasses back to our accomodation that was left on the bus! Recommend first timers take the early shuttle to give yourself that extra hour!

Horrible service, left us stranded

I felt unwell during the Tongariro Crossing hike and had to return to the start. We called their phone to ask for transport back to the Village ..and got only voice mail. Then sent an email at 11am that got replied by midnight. We had to get 2 rides from good souls to get us back to parking to get our car. Don’t recommend as they really failed miserably and left us on our own.
