Tahuna Transport provides scheduled ski transfers and private vehicle charters to major alpine areas including Remarkables, Coronet Peak and Cardrona. The company operates a range of transfer products designed for skiers and snowboarders: early-start “Earlybird” transfers, full-day transfers, “Sleeping Beauty” later-start transfers, and private charters tailored to individual pick-up locations and timings.
Tahuna Transport’s Earlybird transfers (approx 7:30–7:45am departures, returning mid-afternoon) let guests maximize time on the slopes by offering around five and a half hours on-mountain. Full day transfers (approx 7:30–7:45am to 4:30pm) cover the full operating day from first to last chairlift. The Sleeping Beauty option (approx 9:30am–4:30pm) provides a later start with the same on-mountain duration. Private charters are available for Cardrona, Remarkables and Coronet Peak and include a dedicated vehicle and driver with flexible pick-up locations and personalised timings.
Bookings and schedules are specific to each trip; passengers should check their booking confirmation for precise pick-up and drop-off times. Tahuna Transport’s offerings focus on convenient, tailored transport for alpine days, combining dedicated vehicles with flexible service choices. The business supports travelers planning ski days with certainty, offering options that fit early riders, full-day adventurers and guests seeking private, customised travel arrangements. For trip details and exact times, consult the selected trip description and booking information. Private charters provide a dedicated driver and vehicle, allowing groups to select pick-up locations and timings that suit their schedule, while scheduled transfers follow set pick-up and drop-off times listed in each trip description to ensure clear expectations.
