Daily Departure Schedule

Our boats depart from nine beach depots throughout the Abel Tasman National Park. Most visitors depart from our Kaiteriteri Beach base or our Marahau base at the southern end of the park.

  1. Find the colour for your month

    The departure times are colour-coded according to their season. Start by using the colour wheel to determine the colour that corresponds with the month of the year that you'll be visiting the Abel Tasman.

    Tip: Use the Set Seasons menu a the top-left of this page to show only the departure times that are relevant to your journey's season.

    Schedule-star Bookings are essential (May to October).
