Shuttle was cancelled because of weather. Upon checking the forecast there was no weather hazards that day, but maybe it was cancelled because it was a bit cold. Apparently they don’t trust people to be prepared, which is fair. I met someone by the shuttle parking lot who also wanted to do the crossing that day so we decided to team up. The crossing was wonderful and the weather was perfect, just needed to dress up a little.

The service was not provided. The 6 AM shuttle did not arrive, we were left waiting outside for 1,5 hours in the dark and cold. The trip was cancelled by the provider at 6.15 AM after we were waiting for over half an hour and tried to call and text the shuttle service, but we got no answer. At the same time though he did respond by text to the parking space operator who also trying to reach the operator on our behalf. The generic email we received at 6:15 AM stated the reason for the cancellation according to the operator was ‘extreme weather conditions’, this was a lie, as the weather was perfect. This was also confirmed by other shuttle operators who were operating perfectly fine at 6 AM that day.

Had a great driver have an induction of the track and reminded people of things they need. It had help as one lady had forgotten her water and went to collect it as the driver was reminding people of items. Showed us were the end of the track was so we had a reference point.

The summit with the lakes view. Amazing walk with different landings, everything was fabulous even if there were a lot of people on this track

Price is in US Dollars, not NZ Dollars, very misleading and manipulative. Seats on the bus were really tiny, I felt really uncomfortable. Overpriced.
