  • "Dempsey buses provide an excellent transportation service to and from the Tongariro Alpine Crossing. I was staying in Ohakune and they are the only company to pick-up and return from there. Stacey was our driver and picked up promptly from various locations around the town at 6:30am. She gave us all the information we needed to know about the hike and where to meet us for the return ride. We were given 3 time options for returning (2:30, 4:00 and 5:30pm) to cater for different walking speeds, which took the pressure off having to walk to catch a bus, although most of us made it back for the 2:30 ride. Thank you, Dempsey buses and the fabulous Stacey - we really couldn’t have done it without you"
