Prices run from $34 to $44.72 per person. Two options cost $38, one costs $40.13, and the top price of $44.72 buys the private Backyard Secure Parking shuttle. All six include free cancellation.

How Long Do These Shuttles Take?

Two of the six options state a duration of 8 hours: the Ketetahi Park and Ride and the Secure Parking, One-Way Shuttle. The other four do not state a duration, so check each schedule before you book.

What Is Included And What Should You Check Before Booking?

These are shuttle-only products, not guided crossings. Where gear is mentioned, crampons and ice axes are not included, and the remaining options say nothing about winter gear. Mountain weather decides whether shuttles run at all, so check conditions before you travel, and note the minimum age of 8 on the Ketetahi Only shuttle.
