The Abel Tasman National Park’s crystal clear waters and golden-sand beaches are set against a backdrop of lush native rainforest. All of these elements combine to make the Abel Tasman our most iconic national park.

Abel Tasman AquaTaxi has been operating water taxi trips, sea shuttle services and scenic cruises in the Abel Tasman National Park since 1990. Experience the breath-taking beauty of the Abel Tasman from the comfort of our purpose-built, quiet and eco-friendly water taxis. AquaTaxi gets you closer to those out-of-the-way spots along the Abel Tasman coastline.

Whether you’re looking for a short walk, a scenic day out, or a multi-day hiking adventure, we have a trip option to suit.

Get closer to the Park Our water taxi base is located close to the entrance of the Abel Tasman Coastal Track. This makes it ideal for one-way trips into the Abel Tasman and then a walk back to your vehicle. 

Closer to the experts Our boat skippers love the Abel Tasman. During your journey they’ll share their stories and years of knowledge with you, unscripted and from the heart.

Closer to your needs We’ve got more departures, more flexibility and more freedom to help you get the most out of your Abel Tasman adventure.

Closer to the coastline Our boats are purpose-built for the Abel Tasman – fast, efficient and manoeuvrable. We’ll get you to those out-of-the-way places only accessible on a smaller boat.
