Mike and Kiyomi are both passionate about the New Zealand environment. Kiyomi has worked as a guide on the Routeburn Track since 2005 and Mike has been guiding various New Zealand tracks since 2002. The idea for the TrackHopper service came from a chance meeting with Heaphy Track legend, Derry Kingston who operates a similar service. We instantly realised a relocation service was exactly what was needed for the Routeburn and TrackHopper was born.
Routeburn Track Car Relocation Service
Winter is here, Spring is near.
Hiking season will be back soon.
Come and talk to us about the tracks.
We are the original Routeburn car relocation service.
Cut Out The Backtracking:
We realised that people don't want to cover the same ground (as many as three times). So we figured we'd help out by driving vehicles to the other end of the track so that you can continue on your journey, save time and also save those hard-earned dollars.
Why use a bus when you can use your car.
The Milford Sound is only 45 minutes from The Divide.
With us, you can spend more time in Milford, or leave earlier.
Trackhopper will give you more control of your time.
Routeburn Track Transport
You drive to the Routeburn shelter (or the Divide) then hike the track. Meanwhile, we pick up your vehicle and move it to the other end.
When you finish the track, your vehicle is right there waiting for you.
Change of clothes, snack, drink, great.
Occasionally, we may need you to use our car to get to the start of the track.
What's in it for you?
This will save you travel time!
More time to explore the beautiful Fiordland National Park.
Continue on to other tracks.
