What you should know about ABEL TASMAN AQUA TAXI

Taxi in Nelson, Boat in Nelson, Chartered in Nelson

Abel Tasman Aqua Taxi is a family owned business on the doorstep of New Zealand's most popular national park. Back in 1990 Abel Tasman Aqua Taxi pioneered fast water taxi trips in the Abel Tasman National Park and has continued to lead the way with a strong commitment to high safety standards, customer satisfaction combined with experienced drivers who have awesome local knowledge of the park. At the same time they met Terry Knight who was building Awaroa Lodge and noted that there were limited transport services into Awaroa and that partnership was created growing both of their businesses. Aqua Taxi started out by offering a 9am and a 1 30pm set sailing and we now offer in the peak of summer 6 departures and stop off in every major bay in the park.
Gaining a Department of Conservation DOC concession as well as a DOC Marine Mammal Watching Permit meant we could take our guests right into the park to visit the NZ Fur Seal Colony on Tonga Island in the Marine Reserve. Our first Osprey Matakana was the first built by the then small Nelson engineering firm. Our boats get you closer, operating in a minimum depth of only 400mm and our super quiet four stroke outboards allow you to adsorb the sounds of the park. With each new boat purchase we will continue to lift the bar for our customers and the environment.
Here at Abel Tasman AquaTaxi we care deeply about the well being and sustainability of this very special place. The preservation of our local flora and fauna is essential to our livelihood. We strive to take care of it and consider ourselves kaitiaki guardians of this area. If you get caught short dig a hole well away from the path and water sources.
We also work hard at selecting the most appropriate route or vehicle to minimise fuel consumption. We’re constantly working on ways to further reduce our electricity consumption. We always endeavour to turn off any equipment, including lights, when not needed and we are actively monitoring our electricity use. We do everything we can to minimise our water usage by turning off taps when we are not directly using water and by using water saving technologies. We also offer our customers recycling facilities and encourage our customers to reuse containers and bottles whenever possible.
We have a wealth of knowledge on our local history and ecology and love sharing it with visitors!. We support various charitable organisations in their efforts to protect and restore our local environment. We have also adopted the national park’s beaches for the annual Big Beach Clean up
