Tongariro maunga (mountain) is held in high esteem and has cultural significance to our people. We live here and our maori ancestry ties us to this land.
Our ancestor, Ngatoro-i-rangi, first climbed Tongariro and claimed this land for his people who live here today, Ngati Tuwharetoa.
Tongariro National Park is a dual world heritage site for its natural landscape and cultural heritage.
On your transport shuttle journey we share our stories so you are enlightened with our values of guardianship, care and the respect we hold for our maunga, Tongariro, and the spiritual connection that we hope will enrich your experience while safely hiking the Tongariro Alpine Crossing.
