Due to recent changes in the status of the Tukino Access Road, our 7 (passenger) seat shuttle van now operates from the junction of the Desert Road and the Tukino Access Road, to and from the Tukino Skifield.

The Shuttle Service operates at the WEEKENDS ONLY.

We encourage you to be ready for winter weather, by dressing warmly, including having ski clothing to put on and your personal belongings and equipment packaged and secured for shuttle transportation.

Please note that you are leaving your car parked in an unsecure area and do so at your own risk.

CALL TO BOOK

On the day, between the hours of 9am - 4pm you can call us on 06-387 6294 to book your shuttle ride.

You can also call us to reserve a seat(s) on the shuttle up to 24 hours ahead of your planned trip by phoning the Tukino Skifield Ticket Office on 06-387 6294.

It is recommended that you book the Shuttle between 9am and 4pm the previous day, when the Tukino Ticket Office is open. When the Ticket Office is unattended, you can leave a message on the Voicemail and we will phone you back to you as soon as possible.

If at any time after you have made your Shuttle Booking, you wish to cancel your booking, please let us know ASAP so that we can allocate your seat to someone else.

If there are seats available, we will accept bookings from people who are already waiting at the Desert Road turnoff. Please speak to the Shuttle Driver when you are at the turnoff.
