  • 5.0/5

    We were thoroughly impressed with these guys!

    We booked to be dropped off and presumed it was going to be a straight forward ride but they crew were really knowledgeable which really added to the experience! They gave us a tour of split apple rock and shared loads about the local wildlife and area. They were efficient and really friendly - would recommend!

    Fun and efficient.

    They double as tourist guides and allow you to walk any small or big portion of the Abel Tasman area. Taxis are on time. They make sure you know where you are going when they drop you off. Safe also.

    Starting from Marahau, the aqua taxi brings you to several points along the Abel Tasman Coast Track.

    Stopping at the divided apple rock and a seal colony, the ride itself is a fantastic activity. Price ($35 to Torrent Bay) is okay. Boats at cruising at 50kmh.

    whilst the walk in the park was lovely this service was let down by the fact the pick up was 25 mins late in getting to us.

    An excuse was given by the driver that the other boat should have told him we were there waiting. other than that this service provides a day walking in the park if the full walk is not practicable.
