Abel Tasman Tourism Information

I really love this company, have known them for many years and would highly recommend them. Their team are all so friendly and down to earth and their boats are fantastic.

I went kayaking with Abel Tasman Kayaks and we had a great day despite the rainy day. We saw penguins and seals and our guides had tons of interesting information to share.

Our skipper went the extra mile. Took us into bays only accessible at high tide to look at seals playing. He didn't need to do that. Boats were on time, well kitted out and well managed. Thanks.

Absolutely fantastic!
I loved every second of the day trip! Lauren our kayak guide was really personable and we had a great time.
If I had more time I would have booked a second trip!

"With a couple of first-time hikers". We booked the Watertaxi to carry our gear while hiking the AT. Drop-off and pickup location and times were well marked. We also got to discover the various campsite and other hidden facilities along the way. If you can hike but need help to move your heavy gear, Watertaxi is the way to go. The Able Tasman track has to many hiking option. This is not a one time track. We will diffidently be back. Highly recommend Aqua Taxi service.

Amazing service, staff thank you Pamela and Jude. We had such an amazing trip. So luck to get bag transfers, thank you Mr He man that carried our packs. I already told him he was our hero.

Thanks again, we always travel with Aqua Taxi. Best service always and the best staff

A great way to learn a little bit about the natural history and story behind the Abel Tasman area while cruising the beautiful coastline on the way to a long walk back. Highly recommend it even if you aren't walking. Knowing they are a bail-out option if your walk doesn't go well is also a nice option to have.

We had a fantastic trip on the Abel Tasman Aqua Taxi in to Anchorage hut. Our guide gave us a quick blat over to split apple rock and shared some of the history of the area with us before dropping us safely at Anchorage. Highly recommended.

Aqua Taxi were very organised, on time and very professional. Heidi always responded to any queries we had within a timely manner and Quinn was very accommodating with our bags, going above and beyond! Thanks team I'd certainly recommend you to anyone heading into the Abel Tasman National Park!

Great freedom kayak to anchorage and hike back trip. Very informative orientation. My only complaint is that upon returning to Marahau at around 6- 6: 30 while there were two girls inside with doors locked they would not let me enter to use the bathroom and instead explained they were closed (even though the two of them were there) and instructed me to use the cafe bathroom.

We are really pleased we chose Abel Tasman AquaTaxi as our transport option when walking the Abel Tasman Track this week. Excellent communications by phone and email. Friendly and efficient service, with much appreciated suggestions and advice. Sarah, our watertaxi skipper, made our trip from Totoranui to Marahau fun and entertaining. We could tell she loved her job. We highly recommend Abel Tasman AquaTaxi and their staff.

We had a fantastic trip up the Abel Tasman. They were very organised and the driver was informative.

Got picked up and dropped off at Kaiteriteri. Easy to book online. There are more rides to Marahau though so if you want to be sent back to Kaiteriteri, you’ll have to wait abit longer.

Wonderful service - very helpful staff who work hard to accommodate everyone. Keep up the great work!

Excellent! Our skipper had lots of information on the way - kind of a guided tour, and the aqua taxi service was very accommodating to our last minute schedule changes.

Great trip out to Torrent Bay and back. Drivers are friendly and really helpful with loading bags.

Well organized. Skipper took us for a look at Apple Rock and we stopped to see seals, the sight seeing was a bonus. Highly recommended.

With the flooding and track closures, we couldn't have done the Abel Tasman without AquaTaxi. They were informative, helpful and reliable. The kids were so proud of how far they walked and got to see some seals from the water taxi as an extra bonus.
