Methven to Porters Shuttle Bus Transport.

Four Wheel Drive Vehicles

Driving on mountain access roads in New Zealand is tough. Generally they are dirt roads with few safety barriers. Winter conditions make them icy and dangerous. For greater safety, we use 4 wheel drive vehicles.

Thursday Service

We operate our Porters service from Methven on Thursdays. This gives you a chance to try an alternative ski field to Mt Hutt near the end of your ski week in Methven.

Door to Door Transport

Our service comes direct to your door. We cover all accommodation in Methven and tailor our pick ups to meet the demand on the day. Our small vehicle size means you'll spend less time getting driven around Methven than any other provider. .

No transfers between vehicles

We believe that 'door to door' service means that you are delivered from the door we pick you up from, to the door you are carried to. The vehicle that picks you up in the morning is the vehicle that takes you to the mountain. We don't stop part way to put you in a bigger bus or make you wait in a queue to get home again. The same vehicle takes you home again and your seat is guaranteed for the day.

Departs Methven 8.00am

Please be ready at 8.00am for departure.

With a door to door service there will be some variation in your pick up time but Methven is small enough that we usually have everyone within 10 minutes.

All departures must be pre-booked to ensure availablity.

Leaves Porters 4pm

We ask all our guests to be ready to leave at 4.00pm. This allows us to sneak off the mountain just ahead of the bigger buses that hold up traffic on the access road. This also gets you back to Methven around 5.00pm.

If weather conditions change during the day and the ski field closes early we leave as soon we get everyone one back to the vehicle. No queues, no waiting, your guaranteed seat is ready for you as soon as it is time to leave.
