Snowman shuttles were awesome, picked us up from our accommodation and dropped us back. Awesome service, on time and comfortable and friendly driver. Got us off the mountain and safely when the winds got up and they closed the mountain. Made the day so much easier.

Trek Express

Reviewed By mischalec - Christchurch, New Zealand

Ive used Trek Express on 3 different occasions over the past 3 years and are overdue in writing a review. Im pleased to say that Ive found them to be consistently very good. Right from your first contact with Janet when booking (who has lots of knowledge and tries hard to accommodate your pickup and drop off requirements and is very knowledgeable) to on time pickup and drop off from the driver at your destination. Ive used them twice for the Heaphy track and just recently returning from the end of the Old Ghost Road to Lyell car park.

We had to book a return trip to Christchurch when the train was cancelled. A great service with a very accommodating driver who dropped us off close to our motel instead of us having to get a taxi. Very comfortable shuttle with a rest stop at Arthur's Pass. Thank you for getting us back to Christchurch at short notice.

Reviewed By BryceWhitcher - Auckland, New Zealand

We were a group of 8 people. We needed several transport movements tailored especially for us to move us from Queenstown to Te Anau (and return), and in and around Te Anau to do sightseeing and tramp the Kepler track. A total of 7 different trips. The planning was made easy by Nepia's command of the options, and wish to make it easy for us. Every trip was on time and we were driven by interesting people who shared a lot of interesting information about the area. I would recommend Tracknet for this service and would certainly use them again for any future similar trip.

Recently when we were in Wanaka we needed to get into town for a dinner, after calling another taxi company to be bluntly told "it's Friday night", we contacted Yello and they were super accommodating, arriving right on time and picking us up again after dinner - would not hesitate to use them again, especially after the response we got from the other company in the area!

Akaroa French Connection

Reviewed By ScottSomerville70

This service provides a link between Christchurch and Akaroa (and back). Easy to book online for a reasonable price. The bus leaves from several places in Christchurch which is a bonus. The bus was comfy and very clean. Our driver, Bruce, was very friendly and provided interesting commentary on the way. On the way to Akaroa, we stopped for a quick break at Little River (café, toilets, historic train station) and at the Hilltop Tavern (amazing views). On the way back, we were able to visit a cheese factory's shop. The drive to and from Akaroa offers some beautiful views itself. Great, friendly and professional service. Would recommend!
