“The first leg of the trip from Queenstown to Mt. Cook was very enjoyable. The driver shared a lot of local information and history while still respecting the early hour and giving us time to rest.

“The shuttle bus for the Tongariro Alpine Crossing makes getting there and back to the car way more relaxed. You can do the entire hike without bothering about getting back to your car. We even got a Māori blessing at the end of the hike.”
