The Splore Express bus is simple, sustainable and safe.

Catching the Splore Express bus is by far the best way to get to Splore. You’ll be making a positive impact on the environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and reaping the benefits of not bringing another car to Tapapakanga. 

We want as many people as possible to travel by bus which is why we have subsidised the price so that you can get a ride for as little cost as possible.

To launch our public transport offering we are giving away a busload of free rides. Click here for competition details

Splore Express Bus ticket prices start at just $5+BF each way for early birds. When these sell out the price will rise to $10+BF each way. There’s loads of cheap seats but make sure to book yours before they go.

Busses will depart from Downtown Auckland, 172 Quay Street, Opposite the Ferry Terminal, at 930am and 12pm on Friday the 20th February. Arriving at Splore Camp HQ approximately 1 hour later.

Your Splore ticket and wristband processing will happen on board so there’ll be no waiting in queues at the front gate. The Splore Express will take you directly to the campgrounds where you can simply unload and get going into the festival.

There is plenty of of space for all your gear down in the cargo hold so dont worry about about that.

Traveling home on the bus has the great advantage of allowing you to fully take part in the merry festivities of the last day of the event and letting the bus driver worry about the driving. Have a couple of drinks for the road. No worries. 

Local police are cracking down on drivers under the influence. The driving limit has been reduced and it’s quite likely that there will be some kind of monitoring after and the event. Why risk it when you can hop on a bus back to town. Safe sustainable, convenient and cheap.

Did you know that driving your car from Auckland CBD to Tapapakanga return can cost up to $40 in fuel and maintenance and produce on average 20 Kgs of Co2 gas? Get on the Splore Express and save money, hassle and minimise your impact on the environment.

The buses leave from 172 Quay Street, Downtown, Auckland just 50m west of Britomart to make it easy for you to connect with the public transport links available in this area. 

We understand that not everyone will be traveling from Auckland which is why we have set up this online form to give you a chance to let us know where you would like to get the bus from. If we get enough votes from a particular location we will organise a bus there and let you know by email. 

If the bus is not for you then you should checkout our  Facebook rideshare group to hook up a lift or to get more passengers into your car so that you can save on parking.
