The taxi leaves from Kaiteriteria and takes over an hour to visit all the coves up the coast. You can choose to alight at one. walk the track to the next cove and rejoin as often as you can manage. Scenery is wonderful, including seals and the coves are virtually empty - they would be as it takes a long... More

We went on a day trip with Abel Tasman Sea Shuttle with a short walk in the park and then a return pick up. There are plenty of options for drop offs and pick ups. The staff at the Motueka I-site helped us plan our day and booked the tickets for us. The boat was comfortable and the staff were... More

I have nothing but praise for the Sea Shuttle Ltd as such.

If you are into walking some of the track sections available and... More

Smashing boat trip, before being dropped off for our walk back. It was very hot, hilly and at times, we wondered what we were doing!! Only down side was the eco toilets, which were vile More

Sea Shuttle operate a timetable through which you can have a cruise to the top of the Park and then get off on... More

Beware of the rough seas! Trip back was extremely rough! More

This trip was definately one of the highlights of our 3 weeks in New Zealand. Wish we had spent more time there. A clean, efficient service. Very similar to one competitor (the ones with the black boats). There are a couple of things you won’t discern from the ubiquitous pamphlets at tourist information centers. First, they operate two boats, one... More

This is the way to go if you are visiting the park hands down! We took the scenic ferry ride/kayak trip/hike package deal it was the best! The company is family owned and the crews are great. They gave us all the insight to the park the history as well as prompt on time service and the best vessels that... More

We were limited on time in Abel Tasman. I wanted to walk but my husband did not want to walk the four hours. So we opted for the Abel Tasman Sea shuttle to see the coastline. We went up to Bark's Bay and then back to Kaiteriteri. We saw seals on our trip. If I had time I would have... More
