Private car park and shuttle service very well organized. Be prepared for fast weather change and wear appropriate boots. The different view are georges.
Thank you for your great feedback and review in support is appreciated 👍
Unique landscape. With alpine experience rather technically easy hike. But unfortunately heavy mass tourism.
Thank you for your feedback and great review 👍 Less crowded if go earlier. Less crowded than prior COVID. The hike can be challenging for those less experience mountaineers. Being aware and prepared by doing your own research is good common sense 👍 Appreciate your support and to travelling with us Backyard Tours transport services to the Tongariro Alpine Crossing 👍
On time, good communication, nice and funny driver, reasonable price, free cold drink after the hike. I couldn't have wished for more.

Appreciate your feedback and great review to travelling with us Backyard Tours transport services starting your day hike to the Tongariro Alpine Crossing 👍
My friend and I were nervous to do this hike but the tour/shuttle we booked kept us reassured! Car park was easy to find and staff were very welcoming. On the shuttle bus they reassured us that if our car was still there at the end of the day they would check up on us! They also reassured us that if at any point on the track we had to turn back we could contact them and they would arrange a shuttle to help us out! We ended up feeling a lot more relaxed doing the trek and it was a great experience, highly recommend if you’re a bit unsure 😄😄 The views were so so worth it! 🌋🌋
Safety first and to you having an enjoyable experience with us Backyard Tours transport services to the Tongariro Alpine Crossing 👍 Thank you and appreciate your fantastic feedback and review 🤗
Well arranged and left promptly. Driven with your own car to the end point but you can also be picked up / dropped off in Turangi.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback and great review to travelling with us Backyard Tours transport services to the Tongariro Alpine Crossing.
If you pay a visit to Gräfrath, for example to visit the Klingen Museum or just the historical surroundings, and arrive by car, you always need a parking space. We have found a free parking space for visitors during such a trip to get to know the structural historical past of Gräfrath. Approx. 100 meters from the Blades Museum is such a parking lot. FYI: Behind the Blades Museum, by the church, a staircase leads down to the market square, once there, you are right in the historic cityscape of Gräfrath.
Appreciate your great review to this excursion.
Such a beautiful and diverse hike! The trail offers a great mix of landscapes – at one point it feels tropical and jungle-like, then you’re walking along a lake, and later through wild bushes. Every part felt different and special.
Beautiful feedback of the Tongariro Alpine Crossing! Appreciate your fabulous review, thank you 👍
The shuttles actually left ahead of schedule (when they were full) so it was great to get a bit of a head start to the climb. The check-in staff were very nice and welcoming and the driver was lovely to chat with on the way to the mauna. The only reason it’s not a 5 star is because in my mind “secure” means there’s a person at the lot supervising the cars during the day. Got back to my car, office was closed and no one was there. Only thing that made it “secure” beyond a person being present is a security camera. Luckily my car was okay but there’s really no one to stop others from just wandering in there.
Thank you for your great review and support. In the afternoon the surveillance is by cameras and monitoring staff checks that live locally by. Appreciate your feedback 👍
Fantastic experience and only moderate strabaserend to complete the trek. Fantastic views and beautiful lakes.
Thank you for your fantastic review and appreciated feedback 👍
