Water taxi charter
If your excursion into the Abel Tasman just doesn’t match up with any of our scheduled services we have the flexibility to provide special charter services to suit your specific requirements. You also have the option to hire a water taxi and skipper for a special charter trip or occasion. This includes school and other group trips, photography missions, team building activities and pretty much anything else you can think of.
For transport between Nelson, Motueka and Marahau we recommend The Better Bus. You can book your transfers online or give them a call on 027 577 6975
