Boat Transport in Abel Tasman National Park,
New Zealand |
 |
The Abel Tasman Voyager operates every day in Abel Tasman National Park. Choose a beach stop and walk, or stay on board to view the spectacular coast in style and comfort.
During the summer months there are three Vista Cruise sailings, departing from Kaiteriteri at 9.30 am, 1.00 pm and 4.00 pm so you can travel into Abel Tasman National Park for the full day, or just for the morning or afternoon. If you are staying in Marahau, there is a courtesy coach transfer to Kaiteriteri at 8.30 am.
If those times don't suit you, our Vigour Water Taxi departs from Kaiteriteri at 10.30 am.
We operate a reduced timetable during the quieter months (April to October). See Timetables
The Abel Tasman Voyager is specially designed to land passengers on beaches with the largest tidal range in the country. Open and closed deck areas, and toilet facilities on board. Hot & cold drinks and light snacks are available to purchase.
